List of Ingredients




2 cups fresh basil leaves
4 medium cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 cup (give or take) extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup freshly grated parmagianno reggiano cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated Romano cheese
salt and pepper


Recipe



Process bail, garlic and pine nuts in food processor until very fine. With machine running, pour in oil in a thin, steady stream (I usually add significantly LESS than the recipe calls for). Add cheeses, big pinch of salt and a good grinding of pepper. Process briefly.
