Purple Basil Pesto - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 cup whole almond (roasted & salted)
    4 ounces purple basil (about 4 cups packed, but it's best if you weigh it)

    1/2 teaspoon salt
    6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Preparation
    Mix all ingredients except the olive oil in a food processor until thoroughly combined and the consistency you like.
    With the food processor running, drizzle in the olive oil through that chute thingie. Add more salt to taste if necessary.
