   1      Cup           X-Virgin olive oil
   1      Cup           Imported Parmesan Reggiano cheese, grated

finely chopped. 2. With the machine running, pour the oil in a thin,
steady stream. 3. Add the cheese, salt and ground pepper to taste.
Process briefly to combine.

(I make this in 2-cup batches & freeze in 1/2 pt. canning jars for the
winter. Use on pasta, vegetables, baked potatoes... MJ)
