4 spoons of grated Parmesan cheese

A handful of pine nuts

The traditional preparation requires that the pesto be put in a mortar,
but many persons, today, use a mixer.
Wash the basil well and dry it.
Mash the basil, the pine nuts, the garlic and the salt,
working long until obtaining a homogenous mixture.
Join the pecorino and stir,
then add the parmesan and continue stirring.
Once fine pour in the oil stirring
in order to amalgamate all well.
