Step 1
In a pestle and mortar, add the
Garlic (2 cloves)
,
Sea Salt (1/2 tsp)
and work it until both ingredients have become a paste.
Step 2
Add the
Pine Nuts (2 Tbsp)
and continue to work the paste until all the nuts have been crushed.
Step 3
Start to add the
Fresh Basil Leaves (1 1/4 cups)
little by little working in a round slow motion to break the leaves and release the oil.
Step 4
Once you have a few leaves done, start to add the oil and cheese little by little interchanging between basil leaves,
Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (2.5 oz)
, and
Grated Parmesan Cheese (2/3 cup)
.
Step 5
Repeat the process until you've used all the leaves, taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly. This recipe does not have black pepper.
Step 6
Once done, add
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1 pinch)
. This is just to give a slight heat without overpowering the flavor and aroma of the basil. Add the sauce in a glass container with lid and place it in the fridge.
