INGREDIENTS

120 g walnuts
20 g peeled garlic
30 g butter
40 g finely grated Grana Padano cheese
140 ml olive oil
15 ml white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
5 g salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Preheat the oven to 160 °C.
2
Spread the nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Transfer the roasted nuts from the baking sheet to a bowl and let them cool. Then roughly chop them.
3
Roughly chop the garlic. In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the garlic for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to brown the garlic too much, or the pesto will be bitter.
4
Place all ingredients into a blender, add 4 tablespoons of water, and blend. Season with salt to taste if needed.

Tip

You will need a blender for preparation.

Tip: For an especially delicate flavor, you can finish the sauce with a drop of lemon juice. Homemade spaetzle or wide noodles, which perfectly soak up the creamy sauce, are an excellent side dish.
