Ingredients

2 cups fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
1/4 cup minced onion
2 tbsp. minced garlic
1/2 lb. butter, softened
1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. white pepper

Instructions

Pick through basil and remove large stems and bad leaves. Chop basil fine in food processor. Add onions and garlic to the processor bowl and puree. Set aside in a large bowl.

Put one stick of butter into the processor and give it a whirl. Add half the olive oil, followed by another stick of butter, followed by the other half of the olive oil, blending well as you go until you have a thick liquid.

Pour butter-oil mixture into the bowl with the basil puree. Add Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Stir well until completely blended.
