Instructions

Load your food processor with the garlic, herbs, lemon juice, anchovies, salt, and 1/3 cup olive oil. Pulse/process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl to get everything evenly incorporated.
Taste to adjust any of the ingredients, and process in more oil if you want to thin your pesto.
Transfer to an airtight jar, and top with a thin layer of olive oil. Cover and refrigerate. The pesto will last up to a week or more in your fridge.

Notes

Classic Italian basil pesto contains pine nuts (or walnuts) and ages cheese. You can certainly add those if you like. I'd add 1/3 cup nuts and 1/3 cup cheese. You will probably need more olive oil to thin your pesto as well.
