For easy peasy pesto:

Pulse the garlic, pine nuts, salt and 1 tbsp of the oil in a processor. Add the basil leaves and lightly pulse until roughly broken up. Gradually add the remaining oil with the processor on low. Gradually add the parmesan until you’re happy with the colour and taste (you may not need all of it). And thats it, pesto done.
