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.
  • Transfer to a bowl.
  • 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.
