Pesto sauce
Makes ¾ cup
This classic pesto sauce is made in
the authentic Genoese style with fresh basil, olive oil, pine nuts
and Parmesan. It is, without a doubt, our favorite pesto and we eat
it often.
1 cup tightly packed fresh basil
leaves
⅓ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
⅓ cup pine nuts — lightly toasted
1 garlic clove — roughly chopped
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
PLACE all ingredients, except the olive
oil, in a food processor or blender. WHILE you process, slowly pour
in the olive oil until the mixture turns into a smooth paste (you
may have to scrape the sides occasionally).
