  2. 2In a blender or food processor add the pistachios, basil leaves, garlic clove, salt and half the olive oil, blend everything, stopping and starting (so the machine doesn't overheat) add the remaining oil add the parmigiano and pecorino, continue to blend until you have a slightly grainy but creamy consistency. If too thick then add a tablespoon or more of oil or water or until you reach your desired thickness. Taste and adjust the salt. Enjoy!
