- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1/2 c grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 c extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation
Combine first four ingredients in a food processor, then with the processor running, slowly add the olive oil. The result should be a thick paste. If it is a little runny, add a little more olive oil until desired consistency.
