  • 1/2 cup basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts
  • 2 jalapeño peppers deseeded and minced
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

Notes

Want more heat? Use a serrano pepper instead. Serrano peppers provide a similar flavor profile while easily doubling the spiciness.
