I use 3-4 garlic cloves as I like garlicky pesto. I make big batches of this, separate into jars and freeze. I know some people put into ice cube trays and freeze as well.

I added the juice of 1/2 lemon in with the pesto blend to give it more brightness and fix the somewhat bland taste, otherwise easy and delicious and the lemon juice made all the difference for me!

I used almonds instead of pine nuts and also added 1/4 more of oil.
