Ingredients:

  • 2 bunches fresh basil
  • 100 g pine nuts
  • 10 garlic cloves
  • 1 cup olive oil , plus
  • additional olive oil

Directions:

  1. Place basil leaves, tomatos, pine nuts, roughly chopped parmesan or pecorino, garlic and 250 ml olive oil in a food processor.
  2. Process until everything is very finely processed.
  3. Try if it's enough garlic; if not, add more to taste.
  4. Add more olive oil, until you get a very smooth paste.
  5. Store in airtight glass container or jar in the fridge.
  6. You can freeze it, too, but I already stored it up to three months in the fridge.
