I'm trying to make pesto using fresh basil.  I have a recipe but perhaps you have a better recipe.

Sure, how about I make pesto using your basil?
assistant
I grow my own basil.
user
Ok, I'll use yours.  Let me show you my recipe:

I do not want to use tomato paste.
user
Oh.  How about, let’s keep the pesto really simple and just use 3 cloves of garlic, 1 handful of parsley, and a bunch of basil?

I found this recipe online that I think I will like:  2 cups fresh basil leaves, packed (can sub half the basil leaves with baby spinach)
1/2 cup freshly grated Romano or Parmesan cheese (about 2 ounces)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup pine nuts (can sub chopped walnuts)
3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
1/4 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste
