Combine all ingredients except the olive oil and pulse until minced. Add the olive oil a little at a time and continue to pulse until the mixture thickens but is still a little chunky. Spoon over a pound of just-cooked pasta and toss until well combined. Serve immediately, with a glass of cold Pinot Grigio.
