Pesto alla genovese

Spring weather make me think about the basil plant and, of course, about the classical "Pesto alla genovese". It's a refreshing sauce and easy to do.

Ingredients:

- Basil leaves

- Olive oil

- Parmesan cheese

- Pine nuts

If you have a blender, put the basil, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese and olive oil together and blend until you have a smooth purée.

It's more traditional If you do it with a large pestle and mortar.
