I love the addition of parsley, red pepper & lemon. The flavor is much brighter. While waiting for the nuts to cool, I threw the rest of it in the food processor & tasted as I went along. Surprisingly, I liked it MUCH better without the pine nuts. Saving this recipe to finish off my bumper crop of basil. Thanks for posting!
