Ingredients
- 3 whole ripe avocados
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts (toasted)

Instructions

Mash the avocados with a fork until smooth, leaving a few chunks for texture.
In a food processor, combine the basil leaves, parmesan cheese, toasted pine nuts, garlic, and olive oil. Blend until smooth to create the pesto.
Add the pesto to the bowl with the mashed avocados and gently stir to combine.
