Step 1
In a food processor, combine the 2 cups basil, 1/4 cup pine nuts, 1 garlic clove, and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Pulse until coarsely chopped, about 10 seconds.
Step 2
With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the 1/2 cup olive oil until the pesto is smooth and bright green, about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add the 1 tbsp lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Pulse 2-3 times to combine. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
Step 4
Serve immediately with carrot sticks and crackers, or store in an airtight jar with a thin layer of olive oil on top.
