Instruction manual
1
We start with the preparation of pesto sauce: wash basil greens, dry with a paper towel and finely chop. Peel and cut the garlic into thin slices. We shift the garlic into a bowl or mortar, add the pine nuts and knead the pestle - the garlic should give juice, and the nuts should turn into oily crumbs. We transfer the resulting mass to a blender, grind and add cheese and basil greens. Gradually pour olive oil into the bowl (about a tablespoon) and whip the sauce.

Boil the paste according to the instructions to the state of al dente (al dente), recline in a colander and transfer to a large bowl. Add the sauce and shake well.
