Number Of Ingredients 8

3 ounces basil leaves
1 large + 1 medium pieces spanish garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fruity olive oil
4 tablespoons pinenuts, toasted
3 tablespoons pecorino romano, grated (if using sardo pecorino, which is milder, use 1/2 pecorino soared and 1/2 parmesan)
1.3 ounces parmesan
1 box penne or fusilli

Steps:

  • Remove the leaves from the basil. Doesn't matter how large the leaves are.
  • Peel garlic.
