Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Blend all ingredients, except the Parmesan, with a hand blender, adding each ingredient gradually. Once everything is blended, stir in the Parmesan. Alternatively, if you prefer a gentler method, you can also prepare everything in a mortar and pestle. Pour the pesto into a jar and seal it tightly (makes about 300 ml). The pesto will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks.
