Finely chop 2 cups packed, leaves only fresh flat-leaf parsley and 1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves by hand or in a food processor. The texture should be fine but not completely pureed.

4

Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil until the sauce is well combined but still slightly separated.

Let the sauce sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
