Categories     Spreads

Time 7m

Yield 1 cup, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups fresh basil
1 cup Italian parsley
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted till golden
1/4 cup of freshly grated good quality parmesan cheese
3 large garlic cloves (or 3 tbsp of minced garlic)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, add up to 3 more tablespoons if desired

Steps:

  • I decided to blanch my basil leaves. Blanching is great to do if you want to freeze some pesto for later, and it also brightens up the color of your pesto. It is easy to blanch - bring a pot of water to boil, and preparing a bowl of icy water. Pick a bunch of basil with kitchen tongs and immerse in the hot water for 2-3 seconds. Then submerge basil in the ice bath. Blanching basil leaves really comes down to the condition of your ingredients. If your basil looks great, is fresh and fragrant, skip this step!
  • Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process for about 60 seconds.

KITTENCAL'S PERFECT PESTO



Kittencal's Perfect Pesto image

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.

Time 1m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups fresh basil leaves, packed (about 3 large bunches)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup pine nuts (or can use toasted walnuts, or use half each)
3 medium fresh garlic cloves
1/4-1/3 cup freshly grated grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon kosher salt (can use 1-1/2 teaspoons if desired)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (optional, or use pinch cayenne pepper)

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.

  • 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.
