Ingredients

cheese, buy it by the slice
eggs (can be cooked first or at the end)
45 leaves freshly picked basil (about a packed cup)
1/4 cup grated aged pecorino (Tuscan or Sardinian, because Romano is too sharp)
1/3 cup grated Parmigiano (increase this to 3/4 cup if you cannot find the pecorino)
2 cloves of garlic
2/3 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pine nuts (technically optional though almost everybody includes them)
1/3 cup walnut meats (optional)
1 pound (500 g) spaghetti
