This sauce can be saved in the refrigerator for long periods of time. It might darken some with time but the flavor will be there. It's great to have some on hand in the fridge for when you want pasta but don't have time to make sauce or gravy. 
Ingredients
4 C Fresh Basil
6 Cloves Garlic
2 Tbsp Pine Nuts , Toasted
(You can toast pine nuts in an ungreased cast iron skillet just warm till slightly browned)
1/2 C fresh grated parmesan
1/4 cup olive oil
Prepare
In a food processor, place garlic and basil, turn on processor till well mixed
Add Pine nuts and turn on processor till mixed
Add parmesan and turn on processor till all is mixed evenly
Remove basil mixture from processor and place in bowl
Pour Oil over basil mixture and stir with fork so basil absorbs oil.

No need to warm or cook this. Serve over hot al dente pasta
Pesto can be saved in refrigerator for many days. It may change to a darker color but the flavor will be true.
