"A friend made up this pesto as stuffing for wild boar ham involtini. I didn't like the bbqed wild boar ham, but fell in love with the pesto... The two bunches basil are the amount of two 6'' pots :-) The amount of garlic is a guess as well as the amount of olive oil. Small cloves will require more, very large cloves perhaps less. Just try how strong it smells and tastes; it's easier to add another clove than try to remove one when already blended. I use to have the whole bottle of olive oil on the desk and start with about one cup, then add more until the consistence seems creamy enough...."
