Wash the wild garlic, spin dry, and cut into strips. Roast the pine nuts in a pan without fat until light brown, then finely chop. Finely grate the Parmesan cheese. Place the pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, wild garlic strips, salt, and olive oil in a blender and blend until smooth. Add more oil if needed to achieve the desired consistency.
