This is a popular combination of basil and garlic and a delicious sauce for pasta.

5 gloves of garlic

2/3 cup of pine nuts

1/2 tsp of salt

1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese

1/2 cup of grated pecorino cheese

1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil

Wash basil and chop. Peel the garlic and chop coarsely. In a mortar pound the chopped garlic, pine nuts and salt. Add to the mixture the chopped basil and make it into a fine paste. Gradually add the finely grated cheeses and stir with care. Last add the olive oil very slowly (in a trickle) and stir in well. Pour the sauce into a glass jar and top with a little olive oil. Place the sauce into the refrigerator. It keeps for over a week.
