Yield
1 Servings
MeasureIngredient
100 grams Basil leaves
20 grams Pine nuts
30 grams Pecorino Romano (this means seasoned pecorino)
30 grams Extra virgin olive oil
Cloves of garlic (up to 2)

the Ingredients are very simple because pesto is a poor dish.

the tradition suggest to use a pestle but nowdays can be used an osteriser.

the tipical pasta used for the pesto alla genovese is "Trenette" or "Linguine" that is a kind of flat spaghetti. One last raccomandation, once that the "Trenette" and the Pesto are well mixed in the pan serve the pasta on a dish where there you layed few boilled potatoes cutted in thin disks, this will make it really "Genovese"!
