1
In a dry pan over medium low heat, toast the pine nuts until they are slightly darkened and you can smell them (about 10 minutes). Set aside and let them cool.
2
In a food processor or blender, mix all of the ingredients into a paste.

Notes:

1. Go very easy on the salt because the Parmesan cheese has a lot of it.
5
2. If the sauce is too thick for your taste, thin it out a little with some more olive oil.

3. This is a very garlicky sauce. If you are sensitive to garlic, just use 1 clove in this recipe (I love garlic; I use both cloves!). Keep in mind though that when you add this sauce to anything hot, the garlic will mellow.

4. Feel free to use the traditional mortar and pestle; I don't have one so the food processor it is!
