- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Pine nuts
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water (as needed)

Instructions
Place the sundried tomatoes in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for 5-7 minutes to soften.
Once softened, drain the sundried tomatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a food processor, combine the sundried tomatoes, olive oil, garlic cloves, fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, and lemon juice.
Pulse the mixture until it begins to come together. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of water to the food processor to achieve your desired consistency. Pulse again until smooth but still slightly textured.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting as needed to taste.
Transfer the spread to a container and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
