Steps:
- Quickly blanch the basil. Prepare a bowl of ice water and set aside near your stove. Fill a small saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil. Drop the basil leaves in the boiling water and blanch for 5 to 10 seconds or until wilted. Using tongs, transfer the basil leaves to prepared ice water to stop cooking.
- Dry the basil very well. Pick up the basil leaves and wrap them in paper towel and squeeze to wring out all the water.
- Make the pesto. Place the basil, garlic, pine nuts, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade. With the processor running, slowly pour the extra virgin olive oil. Do not run the processor too long, you want to have a little bit of texture to your basil pesto.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Transfer the basil mixture to a small bowl. Add the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix to combine. If needed add a little bit more extra virgin olive oil to mix.
- Use immediately or store for later (see notes for storage).

BASIL CREAM SAUCE
After a mad search on the net for a recipe for this sauce I had to create my own. This can be reheated in the microwave without the usual cream sauce defects. I just love the light green color and how well it displays over tri color or regular pasta, salmon and grilled chicken. I have been putting this on everything.

THE 10 GREEN SAUCES THAT WILL MAKE YOU A BETTER COOK
From epicurious.com
- Argentina: Chimichurri. Sit down at most restaurants in the US and they'll put ketchup on the table. Sit down at most restaurants in Argentina and they'll put a jar of chimichurri on the table.
- Morocco: Chermoula. This North African pureed green sauce is traditionally deployed as a marinade for all kinds of seafood, but it can be used for so much more—from marinating chicken or steak or eggplants to drizzling over roasted vegetables.
- Italy: Salsa Verde. It may look a lot like chimichurri, but the flavor of Italian salsa verde is surprisingly different, with chopped capers and sometimes anchovy fillets giving this version an irresistible salty-funky tang.
- Mexico: Salsa Verde. In Mexico salsa verde means something completely different than it does in Italy, but it still involves a lot of fresh herbs and garlic.
- Italy: Pesto. Yes, technically you could call pesto a "salsa verde," since the term just means "green sauce." Pesto's easily the most luscious of the green sauces, since it boasts not only olive oil but cheese (usually Parmesan, sometimes Pecorino) and nuts (often pine nuts, but sometimes with walnuts or other nuts, too).
- Thailand: Chile-Herb Dipping Sauce. An entire book could be written about the broad range of Thai chile-herb sauces, but this version is a great place to start.
- Yemen: Zhoug. This spicy thick green sauce is Yemenite in origin, but it can be found all over Syria, Israel, and other parts of the Middle East, where it's spooned over shakshuka for breakfast and drizzled into falafel sandwiches the rest of the day.
- India: Green Chutney. Cilantro and mint headline together in this earthy Indian green condiment, while ginger and jalapeño give it a a gently burning heat.
- Texas: Creamy Jalapeño Sauce. Austin's favorite taco sauce is affectionately known as That Green Sauce, and no, it's not made with avocados or dairy. The secret to the creaminess of this addictive cilantro, jalapeño, lime, and garlic sauce is to use a blender to slowly emulsify vegetable oil into the puree.
- California: Green Goddess Dressing. Some people might disagree with me on this one, but I don't think you can go on a world-tour of green sauces without mentioning this California babe of a sauce.
