Add the fresh basil, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and kosher salt to the bowl of a food processor.
Pulse the ingredients until they are combined, then scrape down the sides and blend for 30 more seconds to combine. (Extra blending time can be used for a smoother pesto)
Use the pesto immediately or store for use later. See notes below for storage suggestions.
