Method

1

Strip the basil leaves from the stems—you want just the leaves, as the stems will turn bitter. Put your peeled garlic and grated Parmesan into a blender.

2

Add the basil, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pulse with an immersion blender, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. You're looking for a bright green sauce with a bit of texture—not a smooth purée.
