INSTRUCTIONS
1 For the Pesto: Put the basil leaves, cheese, pine nuts and garlic into the processor and process to a paste. With the blades still running, trickle in the olive oil, to give a creamy taste. 2 If you want, you can get out a large mortar or a heavy bowl, and pound the garlic to a paste with 1-2 pinches salt using a pestle or end of a rolling pin. 3 Add the basil and nuts and pounding until a green paste. Grate the cheese, and add, working it in with the pestle, constantly grinding and pounding and giving it plenty of elbow grease. Work in enough olive oil to give a creamy sauce.
