Notes

Equipment Deep Dive

This recipe couldn’t be easier. It requires no actual cooking – just blending in a food processor. Here’s everything you need to make this recipe:

FOOD PROCESSOR

I recommend this food processor because it has a large capacity for multiple recipes.

RUBBER SPATULA

A rubber spatula is helpful when scraping down the sides of the food processor in this recipe.

CUTTING BOARD

A cutting board is necessary for cutting your baguette.

GRATER

I used this grater to grate my garlic and parmesan, but if you don’t have a grater, you can mince the garlic and buy pre-shredded parmesan.
