Wash the basil carefully and pat dry the leaves. It is important that the basil leaves are very dry.
Place the basil leaves into the food processor with the garlic, the nuts and Parmesan cheese.
Pulse the ingredients to chop them coarsely, then add salt and Pecorino cheese.
Blend all the ingredients for about 1 minute before adding olive oil.
Blend for a further 2-3 minutes, until you get a smooth texture. Adjust the seasoning if required.
- Add a pinch of salt only if you are using Parmesan cheese.
