This is one of the most basic sauces of those I learnt in Italy.

After rinsing the basil leaves, pat them completely dry.
This prevents discolouring and the resultant sauce will keep longer!

Steps

1

Put the basil leaves, lightly toasted pine nuts, garlic and olive oil in a food processor and blitz into a paste.
2

Season with salt and pepper. Do not add too much salt as parmesan cheese is added later.
3

It is ready! Pour over some oil to make a 0.5-1 cm film on top. It keeps in the fridge for at least one week. Let's make a pasta dish using this basil sauce.
4

Remove the seeds of the cherry tomatoes and bake in an oven or oven toaster for 3 minutes. Drizzle over some extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Continue to bake for another 4 minutes.
5

Warm up the basil sauce in a frying pan, and add the Parmesan cheese. Add the cooked pasta and asparagus and toss well. Garnish with cherry tomatoes.
