Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Roast nuts on a sheet until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. When cool, transfer to a food processor with the cilantro and garlic to taste.
- Step 2
Process until nuts are coarsely ground; scrape sides if needed. With motor on, add oil in fine stream; pulse until smooth. Turn off motor, add cheese and pulse several times until just mixed. If too thick, add oil. Season with salt and pepper. Serve right away with pasta, grilled meats, vegetables or soups, or freeze.
