Wash the basil leaves and dry them in a cloth.
Peel the garlic and deprive it of the soul, then put it in a mortar with the basil leaves and the pine nuts and crushes. Add extra virgin olive oil and a few grains of salt. Work with circular movements to tear and not cutting the leaves, so that release their aroma.
