Instructions

Add 2 small cloves garlic and 30 grams pecorino to a food processor.
Process until the garlic and cheese are finely chopped, resembling crumbs.
Add 60 grams basil to the food processor. Process for a few seconds, until the basil is finely chopped.
Add 100 milliliters olive oil. Process again until the pesto is well combined and creamy.
Stir through sea salt to taste.

Notes

To ensure the pesto is vegetarian, please only use vegetarian pecorino, not Pecorino Romano or Pecorino Fiore Sardo. You can also use vegetarian Parmesan (not Parmigiano Reggiano).
