PESTO SAUCE
|
|
Great on pasta, grilled & roasted meats and veggies. This recipes is done strictly by taste.
Equipment: food processor/blender or mortar & pestle: small frying pan.
INGREDIENTS
chopped garlic, start with 1 or 2 "toes" of galic (add more if needed and remember that garlic is quite strong when raw)
3 good handfuls of fresh basil leaves (I use the fresh-bagged basil-amount to use is to taste)
1 handful of lightly roasted pine nuts, cooled (when doing this, be very careful-pine nuts burn very easily-put a drop of olive oil in small frying pan-add nuts and stir constantly until lightly browned)
1 good handful of freshly grated parmesan cheese (not the Kraft stuff)
lemon juice (optional)
extra-virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Lightly roast pine nuts. Put on paper toweling. Put garlic in food processor/blender and pulse. Put in a bowl and add 1.2 parmesan cheese, stirring gently. Slowly add olive oil, just enough to bind the sauce and get it to the right consistency-semi wet but firm.
Taste the mixture, adding a little salt, pepper and the rest of the cheese. Add more oil. You will keep adding a little bit of this and a little bit of that until you get it the way you want it. This is the best way to make pesto but the ingredients need to be fresh.
I like to toss a small handful of roasted pine nuts with the pasta immediately at serving time. Keeps well in refrigerator.
