Instructions

  1. Pick the basil leaves off the stems and put them in a large bowl. Finely grate both cheeses, add them to the basil and set aside.
  2. In a small food processor, combine the peeled garlic, toasted pine nuts, a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Blend on high for 10 to 15 seconds, until combined but not completely smooth.
  3. Add the cheese and basil to the processor with 1 more tablespoon of olive oil and blend. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Transfer to a jar with a tight-fitting lid, or toss straight into fresh pasta.
