Freeze It Basil Pesto Food
FREEZE IT: BASIL PESTO
This simple Italian sauce brings summery flavor to all sorts of dishes, including pizza and pasta. When you plan on freezing pesto, cook the basil briefly in salted water before mixing with the other ingredients; this will help preserve its bright color and fresh taste. Pesto is traditionally made with cheese, but we find it's just as good without (and it freezes better, too). If you like, add a bit of grated Parmesan after pesto has thawed. Other uses for pesto: • spread on a roasted-vegetable sandwich • stir into vegetable soup • thin with water and vinegar for a salad dressing • mix with mayonnaise to make a dip for vegetables • stir into mashed potatoe

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°. Spread nuts evenly on a rimmed baking sheet; toast in oven until golden and fragrant, tossing once, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, bring 4 cups salted water to a boil; add basil, and submerge with a spoon. Immediately drain in a colander. Rinse with cold water until cool, then pat basil completely dry in paper towels.
- In a food processor, combine nuts, basil, and garlic; season generously with salt and pepper. Process until nuts are finely chopped. With machine running, pour oil in a steady stream through the feed tube; process until smooth. Use immediately, or freeze. To freeze, spoon pesto into an ice-cube tray (2 tablespoons per cube); cover with plastic wrap. Freeze overnight, then transfer cubes to a resealable plastic bag; keep up to 6 months. Defrost pesto at room temperature, about 20 minutes (or at 30-second intervals in the microwave). Mash with a fork before using in recipes.

- Put the parmesan cheese in the food processor and pulse until the cheese begins to look like small crumbs. Add the basil and parsley (if using), pine nuts, garlic, and salt and pepper to the food processor. Turn the food processor on medium setting until a green paste begins to form. Begin to drizzle the olive oil into the green paste while the food processor is on. Stop the food processor and use a rubber spatula to scrape any ingredients from the sides back down into the bowl. Pulse the food processor again until everything is incorporated. You can use immediately or freeze.
- Freezer instructions: If you are planning to freeze your pesto, pour it straight from your food processor into clean ice cube trays. Cover and put into the freezer. When pesto is completely frozen, transfer the pesto cubes from the ice trays to a labeled and dated freezer bag. Next time you need a quick dinner, grab a few cubes of pesto and let them thaw!
