PENNE WITH PESTO



Penne with Pesto image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large bunch fresh basil
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound penne rigate or other ridged small tube pasta

Steps:

  • Meanwhile, pluck the basil leaves from the stems (you should have about 2 cups leaves). Wash the leaves in a large bowl of cold water and dry in a salad spinner or pat dry with paper towels. Smash and peel the garlic.
  • Put the basil, garlic, and pine nuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. With the processor running, gradually add the olive oil and process until the pesto is smooth. Transfer the pesto to a large bowl and stir in the cheese. Season with the salt and some pepper.
  • Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil over high heat and salt it generously. Add the penne and boil, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and save about 1/4 cup pasta cooking water. Add the pasta to the bowl. Use tongs and toss with enough of the cooking water so the pesto coats the pasta evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
  • Upgrades: a. Make the pesto creamy by adding 1/4 cup ricotta cheese when processing the basil, garlic, and pine nuts. This is great with tortellini or ravioli. b. Top dressed pesto pasta with 1/2 pound diced large or halved small fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), 3 medium tomatoes cut in large chunks, and 1/2 cup pitted black olives, (we like kalamata for this), roughly chopped. c. Add cooked 1 to 2 cups chicken or shrimp.
  • Twists on Pesto: In place of basil, try the following combination: 1 cup parsley, 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves. Substitute walnuts for the pine nuts

LOW CARB PESTO CREAM SAUCE RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Low Carb Pesto Cream Sauce Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by aerin8

Number Of Ingredients 3

2/3 cup (159g) basil pesto (recipe)
1 1/3 cup (317g) cream, heavy whipping
salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Add the two ingredients to a pan and heat over medium heat. Once it simmers, turn to low heat and let it continue to simmer, reduce and thicken. You can make it quicker by cooking over high heat, but you need to watch it and stir it. When it's thick and gloopy, season to taste Calories Fat Protein Carbs Fiber SA's Net Carbs Per Serving: 558.05 59.28g 5.29g 4.6g 0.68g 0g 3.92g Pesto: Ingredients: 3 each (9g) garlic cloves, diced 2/3 cup (144g) extra virgin olive oil 2 cups (141g) packed, cleaned and dried fresh basil leaves (about a large bunch's worth) 2 tsp (10g) lemon juice 1/4 cup (33.75g) pine nuts, toasted 1/4 cup (25g) parmesan (reggiano) cheese, grated 1/4 cup (25g) pecorino (romano) cheese, grated salt and pepper, to taste Method: Add the garlic, salt and half of the olive oil to a food processor, with a sharp blade. Pulse the processor and blend for 30 seconds. Add the basil and lemon juice, then pulse for a further 30 seconds. Add the pine nuts and cheeses and then pulse to your desired consistency. If it's too thick, add more olive oil to adjust the consistency. I tend to like mine a bit on the paste-y rough side, but some like it smooth and saucy. Use immediately or store covered with a thin layer of extra virgin olive oil. This will help prevent the pesto from turning brown and will allow it to last longer in the fridge. 8 Servings Calories Fat Protein Carbs Fiber SA's Net Carbs Per Serving: 213.29 22.46g 2.9g 1.7g 0.51g 0g 1.19g

PESTO CREAM SAUCE



Pesto Cream Sauce image

Serve this delicious sauce over your favorite pasta for a quick, delectable meal. Do NOT substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream if you want a thick sauce. Heavy cream contains at least 36% milkfat. Half-and-half, just like the name says, is half milk and half cream and is no more than 18% milkfat. If half-and-half is used, the sauce will only be half as thick as it would if heavy cream were used. Also, if the amount of butter is reduced, that will also make the sauce thinner, as butter is 80% milkfat.

DELICIOUS PESTO CREAM SAUCE



Delicious Pesto Cream Sauce image

This is a great sauce for pasta. We like cappelini, penne, or fettucini. Add shrimp or crawfish for a complete meal with a crisp green salad and some hot, buttered French bread. I make my own pesto and freeze in ice cube trays. This recipe calls for 2 cubes. Enjoy!

LOW CARB PENNE PASTA IN PESTO-CREAM SAUCE



Low Carb Penne Pasta in Pesto-Cream Sauce image

This recipe uses the recently introduced low-carb pasta for a flavor-packed, yet healthy side dish that satisfies your pasta craving without breaking your low-carb diet! Note: The 'Zaar nutrition chart doesn't recognize "low-carb" pasta, so be sure to add the number of carb grams shown on your pasta box. For example, my brand contains 5 G. net carbs, so my corrected total is 7.5 G. net carbs in each serving.

Provided by CookinDiva

Categories     Penne

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

16 ounces low-carb pasta
1/4 cup basil pesto (found in refrigerator section by fresh herbs)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
8 ounces heavy cream
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain. HINT - save 1/4 cup pasta water to add to pasta later if it needs more liquid.
  • Stir all other ingredients into hot pasta, saving a little of the Parmesan to sprinkle on top. If the dish seems too dry, you can add a little of the reserved pasta water (the starch in that water helps to bind the sauce).
  • A nice variation is to toss in about 20 grape tomatoes (split in half first) as you toss all the ingredients. They add wonderful color and flavor.
