In a food processor, puree together oil, garlic, and pine nuts.  Add parsley and blend.  Add basil leaves, small amounts at a time. Process until leaves are finely ground and mixture has a paste consistency.  Add parmesan cheese and mix until blended.  Do not overmix after adding parmesan cheese.
Store refrigerated or frozen.
 
NOTE: For a cheaper alternative, you may substitute walnuts for pine nuts.  In our opinion, though, pine nuts add better flavor.
