Put the basil leaves into a mortar and bash with pestle until they become a pulp, or blitz them in a food processor.

Add the garlic and nuts and bash repeatedly or blitz again. Using a metal spoon, stir in the olive oil, followed by the parmesan cheese.

Season to taste then use immediately or pour into a sterile jar.
