Method
Preheat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the center position.
Toss the broccoli on a rimmed sheet pan with the salt and the olive oil. Roast until browned and tender, about 30 minutes.
In the base of a food processor, combine the roasted broccolini, garlic, basil, and parmesan. Pulse until well-combined.
Note: If you prefer a thinner pesto, slowly pour in up to 2 more tablespoons of olive oil.
