Instructions

Bring a pot of salted water to a high simmer. Add in the jalapeños (deseeded, unless you want extra heat) and garlic and blanch for 2 minutes, then remove to an ice bath. Repeat the blanch/shock process with the basil, cooking for 30 seconds. Once cooled, squeeze all the liquid out using a kitchen towel or similar tool. Transfer everything except the olive oil to a blender and slowly bring up the speed while streaming in the oil. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes or until smooth. Serve on pasta, bread, or any other desired dish.
