food processor.

Using a mortar and pestle pulverize the garlic and salt together, gradually add the remaining ingredients a little at a time and lastly add the lemon juice.

When your pasta or gnocchi is cooked, place the pesto in a medium sized bowl, loosen the pesto with 1/3 cup of the pasta water and stir until nice and creamy. Then with your tongs or large slotted spoon, take out the pasta from the boiling water and place into the bowl with the pesto and stir gently until combined.
