1 clove garlic (omit this if you are using wild garlic)

100g pinenuts

50g Parmesan or Grana Padano, grated

100ml olive oil

Salt and pepper

Put everything except the oil in a food processor and blend to a fine paste.

Pour in the oil with the motor running. Add half a teaspoon of salt and some pepper. When you have a smooth puree, check the seasoning and add more salt if necessary - it needs quite a bit. Pour into a bowl to serve.
