Toast the pinenuts very lightly, ie heat the pan well and then roast without oil, for a few seconds, so that the pine nuts don't start turning brown but remain fresh with just that hint of fragrance which is going to add flavour to the pesto. Remove stalks and stems from the basil leaves.
Place the garlic in the food processor along with the salt and process. Add the basil leaves and run the processor on pulse a couple of times, till the basil is crushed. You want the pesto to be a little coarse, not a smooth puree. Add the pine nuts and again run the processor, about 30 seconds.
