  4             ounces  hazelnuts
  2             cloves  garlic -- peeled
  1           teaspoon  salt
  2              large  handfu fresh parsley -- washed and dried

Preparation:

Using a mortar and pestle, pound the hazelnuts with garlic, salt, and parsley, adding a few drops of oil.

Pound ingredients into a paste, transfer to a larger container, and then slowly stir in the remaining oil. Cook the pasta al dente and coat with pesto sauce.
