Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Peel the garlic and pound it in a mortar with a pinch of sea salt.
  2. Add the roughly chopped basil leaves and pound to a paste (or pulse in a food processor).
  3. Add the pine nuts (lightly toasted first, if you like) and pound again, then stir in half the Parmesan.
  4. Drizzle in enough olive oil to bind the sauce to a loose, oozy consistency.
  5. Stir in most of the remaining Parmesan, season with salt and black pepper, then taste and add more cheese or oil until you are happy with the flavour and texture.
  6. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice if you like.
