Cooking Recipe Pesto (Basil Sauce)
Recipe Ingredients
1 c
Basil leaves
2 ts
Garlic, minced
1/2 c
Olive oil
2 tb
Pine nuts, chopped
1/8 ts
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Puree all the ingredients in a blender or in a food processor. Or, if
you want to do it the traditional way, pound the basil leaves,
garlic, salt & nuts together with a mortar & pestle & then beat in
the olive oil. Use in soups or toss with hot pasta & serve as a main
dish. Smaller quantities make an ideal appetizer. Will keep in the
refrigerator or will freeze.
