How to Make It
Step 1
Add the walnuts, basil and olive oil to a food processor or a blender. Crush the garlic and add it to the blender. Give it a whizz to initially combine.
Step 2
Grate the parmesan cheese using the fine edge of the grater. Add the grated parmesan and a good grind of black pepper to the basil mixture. Blend again until a smooth paste.
Step 3
Taste and adjust the flavor to suit. You may add more basil or salt if required. If the mixture is too thick, either add in 2 more tablespoons of olive oil or water to thin it out. Blend it again until desired consistency. Spread over your Keto pizza base. If you’re not using it right away, the sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
