Kittencals Perfect Pesto Food
KITTENCAL'S PERFECT PESTO
I have experimented with many ingredient amounts for pesto, I have finely found the one that has a perfect balance of flavor --- this will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, if you are storing it in the refrigerator I suggest to place a 1/2-inch layer of oil on top of the pesto and cover with a lid or you may freeze --- the success of this recipe will depend on the quality of Parmesan cheese that you use, if possible try to use a good quality freshly grated cheese it really will make a difference with the taste of the pesto, and please use only kosher salt --- FOR RED PESTO; reduce the basil to 3 cups, and add 1/2 cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes to the blender along with other ingredients.

Steps:
- Combine the basil, olive oil, pine nuts and garlic cloves in a blender (or food processor).
- Blend until a paste form, stopping often to push down the basil.
- Add in the Parmesan cheese and Kosher salt; blend until smooth.
- Transfer to a bowl.
- NOTE to clean fresh basil leaves; swirl in a bowl of water then spin them very dry in a salad spinner.
- If not using right away store the clean leaves in a sealed plastic bag with a slightly damp paper towel, the leaves should keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days.

KITTENCAL'S PERFECT PAN-FRIED STEAK
For perfect results plan ahead the steaks must be brought down to almost room temperature which might take several hours, this recipe works perfectly for beef tenderloin steaks of coarse you may use it for any cut of beef, cooking times stated is for an 8-ounce steak at 1-1/2 inch thick --- I use Montreal Steak Spice for this but freshly ground coarse black pepper will work fine, and you may adjust the black pepper to taste, since salt will draw out the juices from the beef do not salt until after cooking --- since not all cuts of meat are the same, for this method a more tender cut of steak is suggested to use such a strip loin etc.

Steps:
- In a bowl combine 3 tablespoons oil with 2 teaspoons steak seasoning or ground black pepper.
- Rub both steaks with the oil/pepper mixture.
- Allow the steaks to sit out to almost room temperature (about 1-1/2 to 2 hours).
- Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
- Quickly sear the meat about 5 seconds on each side; remove from the skillet to a plate.
- Add 2 tablespoons butter to the hot skillet allow to sizzle and brown, then return the meat to the skillet and fry 4-5 minutes per side (the outside of the steak should be browned and crisp).
- Remove steaks from the skillet and allow to stand for 5 minutes to allow the juice to settle.

KITTENCAL'S ITALIAN TOMATO PASTA SAUCE AND PARMESAN MEATBALLS
There is a method to making the perfect sauce and that is a very long slow cooking time then refrigerate to blend the flavors, a good sauce needs time to "ripen" and develop it's full flavor, this sauce must be made a day or even up 4 days ahead in order for the flavors to intensify, the longer you leave it refrigerated the better it will be --- this recipe makes a fair amount use what you need then freeze the rest in plastic containers for another meal, for a quick thaw just pop in the microwave for about 8 minutes or a little more or thaw in refrigerator overnight, if desired you may partially precook the meatballs on a greased baking sheet in oven before adding to the sauce --- you will love this sauce and you will be making it often! ---- also see my recipe#150207

Steps:
- Prepare the meatball recipe as directed on the recipe; transfer to a plate cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use (the meatballs may be prepared up to 1 day in advance).
- Drain the diced tomatoes over a strainer.
- Coat bottom of large heavy-bottomed pot with olive oil, heat over medium heat.
- Saute onion with bay leaf, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper and crushed chili peppers for about 5-7 minutes or until the onions are transparent.
- Add in fresh garlic; cook stirring for 2 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste;mix and stir for about 2 minutes or until well combined with the onion mixture.
- Add in the wine; stir well to combine.
- Add the 2 cans crushed tomatoes (can use 3 cans if you are freezing some sauce) and the drained diced tomatoes, stir and bring to a light boil; boil for 5-8 minutes then reduce heat to low.
- Add in uncooked meatballs to the sauce (if you are adding the meatballs uncooked do not stir for 30 minutes or you may run the risk of them falling apart in the simmering sauce).
- Simmer uncovered on low heat for about 3-5 hours (the longer you simmer uncovered the thicker and richer your sauce will be so don't be afraid to simmer even 6 hours!) adding more salt if desired.
- Skim off any fat that might gather on top of sauce.
- Allow to cool to room temperature then refrigerate (with the meatballs in the sauce) a minimum of 1 day or up to 4 days before using.
- Use as much as desired then freeze the rest for another meal, just reheat the sauce on top of the stove or heat in microwave (this will freeze well for up to 6 months).
- Note: if desired, you can bake the meatballs in the oven before adding to the sauce.

KITTENCAL'S MARINARA PASTA SAUCE (VEGETARIAN)
This is a basic simple marinara but big on flavor, it can be ready in 1 hour or you can cook it longer and even tastes better the next day that is why I strongly suggest to make this sauce 1-3 days ahead and refrigerate as the flavors will blend and intensify ---this freezes well so make a double recipe and freeze a batch for the next meal, you may omit the wine but I strongly suggest to add it in, it really adds flavor to the sauce --- please make certain to purchase only good-quality canned Italian Roma (plum) tomatoes for this it will make a huge difference to the flavor of the sauce --- all ingredients may be adjusted to suit taste, this sauce can also be simmered for a longer time in a crockpot, throw in some fresh mushrooms also if desired --- also see my recipe#71273
