Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups sage leaves
½ cup chopped walnuts
2 cloves garlic
¾ cup olive oil see note
2 ounces grated parmesan cheese about ½ cup
pinch kosher salt

Instructions

Add the sage leaves and walnuts to a food processor. Use a microplane grater to grate the garlic and add to the sage and nuts.
Pulse until the leaves are roughly chopped, then with the motor running, pour in the olive oil and process until smooth.
Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the cheese and salt. Stir to combine and check the consistency. If it's too pasty, add some more olive oil.

Notes

You may need a little more or a little less olive oil. Keep an eye on it as you add it. You can always add more if you need to after the cheese is mixed in.
Store in an airtight container, covered with a layer of olive oil to prevent discoloration. It will keep for a week or more.
