A classic pasta sauce from Italy. One cup is
enough for 1 pound of pasta. It's also good on
boiled potatoes or in soups.
1 cup yield
3
ounces imported Parmesan cheese,
at room temperature, in 1-inch pieces
3
small garlic cloves, peeled
2
cups tightly packed, fresh basil leaves
¼
cup pine nuts
½
teaspoon salt
¼
cup olive oil
Use metal blade to chop cheese and garlic, about
30 seconds. Add remaining ingredients except oil
and process until combined, about 8 pulses. With
machine running, pour oil through feed tube. Pro-
cess until combined, about 10 seconds. Scrape
down bowl and continue processing until smooth,
about 20 seconds.
This keeps for up to 5 days in the refrigerator and
it also freezes well. Some people prefer to omit the
cheese when freezing pesto and add it just before
serving.
