Tips
Roasting the pine nuts before grinding them can enhance their flavor.
Pre-grinding garlic can help to disperse the flavor and prevent it from being too overpowering.
Adding salt early can draw out moisture and ensure even seasoning.
Adding basil last can help preserve its vibrant green color.
Gradually adding olive oil while grinding helps maintain a fresh flavor.
