HEALTHY CREAMY PESTO SAUCE



Healthy Creamy Pesto Sauce image

This is a recipe I make over and over--it's simple, fast, healthy, inexpensive and good for any season/occasion. I love creamy pesto sauces over pasta, but ya know those sauces ain't so healthy: high in fat, sodium, or both. Even those little packets of creamy pesto sauce in the "gravy" aisle aren't good for you. This sauce is better for you and even faster to make than one of those packets! You can adjust to taste or what you have on hand: I've used fat-free yoghurt, low fat yoghurt and (my favourite) homemade yoghurt--you can buy fresh at an Indian grocer. The recipe makes about a cup, which you can mix with cooked chicken or sauteed mushrooms (or both, like I do!) or steamed clams or steamed veggies and pour over enough cooked pasta for 2-4 people. I'll post other recipes with some of my favourite uses, but be creative!

Categories     Sauces

Time 2m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup plain yogurt
3 -4 tablespoons basil pesto (homemade or store bought, whichever you have/prefer)
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Mix yoghurt and pesto together in a small saucepan, stirring well to blend.
  • Heat on low until warmed through (do not overheat).
  • Add fresh ground black pepper to taste.
  • That's it!
  • Serve over your favourite hot pasta or other main dish, such as fish or chicken.
  • (if you skip the heating step, this makes a good salad dressing, too).

LIGHTER BASIL PESTO



Lighter Basil Pesto image

Basil pesto is one of my favorite foods, especially in the summer. Unfortunately pesto is very high in fat and calories, so I have been working to create a lower fat and calorie version. This pesto is creamy and delicious without the guilt! This recipe is also great with any type of stock or nuts that you have at home.
