Bright, garlicky, and packed with fresh herbs, this pesto comes together in minutes with nothing more than a food processor and a handful of pantry staples. Fresh basil and scallion greens give it a grassy, slightly sweet edge, while toasted pine nuts and finely grated Parmesan build out its rich, nutty backbone. A pour of garlic-infused olive oil and a splash of lemon juice bring everything into a glossy, thick paste with just the right amount of texture. Toss it with your favorite grain or noodle, spread it on a sandwich, or spoon it over roasted vegetables — it's endlessly versatile. Since the whole recipe is built from herbs, nuts, cheese, and oil rather than any grain-based thickeners or fillers, it's a naturally solid choice for a gluten free kitchen.

Add the basil, scallion greens, pine nuts, and Parmesan to a food processor. Pulse 8–10 times until the mixture is coarsely chopped and no large leaves remain.
With the processor running, pour in the garlic-infused olive oil and extra-virgin olive oil in a slow, steady stream until the pesto comes together into a thick, slightly textured paste — about 20–30 seconds. Scrape down the sides once midway through.
