Équipements
- Food chopper (or mortar and pestle)
Ingredients
- 40 g of basil
- 1/2 to 1 clove of garlic
- 15 g of pine nuts
- 50 g of olive oil
- 25 g parmesan cheese
- 15 g pecorino cheese
- salt to taste
Instructions
- In the bowl of the chopper (or the mortar), combine the pine nuts, garlic and salt. Blend well to obtain a paste.
- Add the basil leaves. Blend for a few seconds at a time (so as not to heat up the basil), until you get the desired consistency (creamy usually, I prefer it a bit grainy).
- Add the cheeses, then start pouring in the olive oil. Mix as you add the oil.
