1. Put a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil into the blender.
2. Add the garlic clove and blend.
3. Add the pistachios and blend until the mixture turns creamy.
4. Wash the basil and dry it well with kitchen paper or a tea towel.
5. Add two handfuls of basil and pulse until mostly mixed in.
6. Add the 3 tablespoons of finely grated pecorino romano, a few pinches of salt, and the rest of the basil.
7. Pulse until most of the basil is mixed. If basil is left over, add more olive oil, push the leaves down with a spatula, and blend until thick and creamy.
8. Pour the pesto into a bowl.
