Recipe for you:
Pesto
1/4 cup *pine nuts, toasted
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan (1 ounce)
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
Pulse all pesto ingredients except oil in a food
processor until finely chopped. With motor running, add oil in a slow stream
and blend until combined well.
*Please note - I used walnuts (a little easier on the pocket book)
I also did not use any Parmesan - we're on a no dairy kick....for now.
I decreased the oil slightly too.
I like pesto best on fish and spaghetti squash.
How do you like it?
Lovely pesto recipe. I like mine on pasta!
ReplyDeleteLook so yummy. Thank you for sharing me you recipes. Have a nice week end.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pesto! I love that stuff and the homemade version has nothing to beat it. I too like it on fish but also the classic way on pasta - linguini for preference. It's also very good tucked into the middle of homemade rolls before baking. Works a bit like a savoury doughnut. Only trick to remember is not to be too greedy about how much pesto to insert in each ball of dough as too much bursts forth in the cooking! - a teaspoonful is plenty per roll. Fabulous with soup!
