Steps:
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan, 1 tablespoon of the pine nuts and 1 of the garlic cloves to a food processor. Blend, scraping down the sides and base of the bowl with a rubber spatula as necessary, until a smooth paste forms, about 1 minute. Season with kosher salt and pepper. Add 1/2 cup of the hummus and blend until evenly combined and smooth. Transfer the red pesto hummus to a small bowl. Clean the bowl and blade of the food processor.
- Add the basil leaves and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons Parmesan, 1 tablespoon pine nuts and 1 garlic clove to the food processor. Blend, scraping down the sides and base of the bowl as necessary, until a smooth paste forms. Season with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1/2 cup hummus and blend until evenly combined and smooth. Transfer the green pesto hummus to a separate bowl.
- To serve, carefully spoon the red pesto hummus into half of a serving bowl and the green pesto hummus into the other half.
