Preparation steps

1.

Peel the bottom third of the asparagus and cut the spears into pieces. Blanch in salted water for about 8 minutes and drain well. Collect and set aside a little asparagus cooking water.

2.

Rinse the basil, shake dry, pluck off the leaves and place in a blender with the asparagus.

Peel the garlic and add to the blender along with the walnuts. Add 4-5 tablespoons of chilled asparagus cooking water and purée everything together.

Mix in as much oil as is needed to create a thick pesto.

Stir in the Parmesan and season with salt, lemon juice and pepper.

3.

Pour into a jar, seal well and keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
