I toasted the pecans in the small Micro cooker in the microwave, and then chopped them with the basil at the same time with the Food Chopper. It worked great! You want that basil super finely chopped, because that will get it to be more like a pesto. (Except my mom was raising her eyebrows that I didn't use pine nuts 
)
