- 2 large bunch of fresh basil leaves
- 1 – 2 garlic cloves
- 1/3 cup toasted pine nuts
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/3 grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Preparation:
- Add gralic, pine nuts, basil, salt and pepper to a food processor, pulse it until you get a thick paste. Drizzle in the oil and cheese.
