Traditionally use a marble mortar and wooden pestle. Being short of time, I used a hand blender with excellent results. I put coarse salt and sliced garlic in the jug.

I pulse to avoid overheating, adding oil to the desired consistency.

Once combined, I jar and cover with oil to prevent darkening if not using immediately. Otherwise dress pasta; trofie are excellent.
