Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 medium clove garlic
  • 60 g pine nuts
  • 3 handfuls fresh basil leaves
  • 150 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 Tbsp freshly grated pecorino cheese
  • Pinch salt
  • Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Instruction

  • In a food chopper, start with chopping the garlic and pine nuts for a few seconds.
  • Add the basil leaves and half the olive oil and continue chopping for about 20 seconds more.
  • Add the cheeses, salt, pepper and a little more olive oil and chop again.
  • Scrape down the sides and add more olive oil if you need it and chop one last time to incorporate everything together. You are going for a paste that is just pourable and thick.
