PESTO SAUCE

Pesto Sauce image

I like to serve this pesto over butter gnocchi with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Gnocchi are light little potato dumplings, which are available in Italian grocery stores and cook up in mere minutes. The pesto is also delicious tossed with penne pasta or in one of these recipes using pesto. -Sue Jurack, Mequon, Wisconsin

Time 5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 cups fresh basil leaves, fresh picked, packed
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese (not the stuff in a green can)
2 -6 garlic cloves
1/4-1/2 cup virgin olive oil

Steps:

Grow 4-5 large basil plants so you can make this all summer long. Purple basil makes the spiciest pesto (my Dad's favorite).
Put basil, nuts, cheese and garlic in a food processor.
Turn it on and drizzle in enough olive oil to reach the desired consistency - thick for spreading on bread or thin for tossing with cooked vegetables or pasta.
NOTE: Do not use dried basil. This recipe can be frozen (in ice cube trays or 1/2 - 1 cup portions) for up to 6 months, but do not add the cheese until you are ready to eat or the sauce will fall apart.

QUICK & SIMPLE PESTO (CLASSIC PESTO RECIPE) SAUCE

Quick & Simple Pesto (Classic Pesto Recipe) Sauce image

This is a pretty easy recipe for a classic pesto sauce. It can be served with pasta for "Pasta & Pesto" or spread on toasted Italian bread or on sandwiches and salads... You can blend it into bread or muffin mix. You can make Pesto Pizza. You can even add heavy cream if you desire a "creamy pesto sauce". The key is to use only FRESH BASIL. Note: Pine nuts are AKA Pignoli Nuts
