Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 bunch basil fresh
- extra virgin olive oil
- 100 g almonds peeled
- 6 tomatoes ripe
- pecorino cheese grated
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a saucepan, place the tomatoes with very hot water and let them rest for 5 minutes so that the skin is easily removed. Peel them and cut them into very small pieces.
- Remove the basil leaves from the stems, wash and dry them.
- Peel the garlic and along with salt and almonds begin grinding them in a mortar.
- Add the basil leaves slowly, continuing to grind the mixture.
- Add the extra virgin olive oil a little at a time. Next, add the peeled and chopped tomatoes.
- Grind the mixture until you have a grainy but homogeneous cream. Finally, add the grated Pecorino cheese and mix.
- Season your pasta, adding toasted flaked almonds or bruschetta to taste.
Notes
- Important and fundamental to the success of a good pesto is the use of an excellent extra virgin olive oil, which must be added to the grinding in the mortar little by little.
