We recommend you use a food processor or blender. Blend all the ingredients except for the cheese, then add salt and pepper to taste. When you've reached the consistency of a paste, add the parmigiano reggiano and mix everything together.

Store your Sicilian pesto in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to use.
