Method
-
step 1
Put the garlic and basil leaves in a mortar and add the salt. Add the pine kernels and grind to a paste, slowly drizzling in some olive oil. Add the parmesan and continue to grind with the pestle, adding enough oil to achieve a smooth, brilliant-green sauce.

step 2
Boil the pasta in salted water following the packet instructions. Drain well, transfer to a warmed bowl and mix thoroughly with the pesto sauce. The sauce should coat each piece of pasta and there should be none left on the plate. Decorate with basil leaves and serve.
