Step 3
Juice all four lemons.
Step 4
Grate the Parmesan cheese using a fine grater.

Finely chop the basil leaves (leave a few whole leaves).
Step 6
Set aside part of the grated Parmesan, and gradually add olive oil and lemon juice to the remaining cheese, mixing everything until it reaches a thick sauce consistency similar to mayonnaise.
