But the easier way is to put them in a high speed blender or food processor and process until everything is well combined.
03
Just chop the garlic cloves before adding them to the blender or food processor.
04
So,fist of all,add all of the ingredients without grated parmesan cheese and extra virgin olive oil to high speed blender or food processor.

06
After that,stir in the grated parmesan cheese.
07
