Briefly brown the pine nuts in a pan without oil. Chop the bell pepper, garlic, and Parmesan cheese slightly—it depends on your blender. Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth, adding enough oil until the desired consistency is reached. Season with oregano, salt, and sugar. Tip: For a little extra spice, add a little chili or sriracha.
