BASIC PESTO



Basic Pesto image

Pesto is a mouthful of bright summer - basil made more so. You can buy it in a jar or in the refrigerator section of your grocery story, but there is nothing better than making it yourself. Fresh basil can be found in abundance at farmers' markets in the summer. Just clean, take the stems off and throw the leaves in a food processor with nuts and garlic. Dribble in the oil and you've got a versatile sauce for pasta, chicken or fish.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     easy, quick, condiments, editors' pick

Time 15m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups fresh basil leaves (no stems)
2 tablespoons pine nuts or walnuts
2 large cloves garlic
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

12 PESTO RECIPES TO PERK UP ANY DISH - THE SPRUCE EATS

From thespruceeats.com
Author Cathy Jacobs
  • Classic Basil Pesto. Want a foolproof recipe for the classic basil pesto you know and love? This no-fail recipe for the green herbaceous pasta sauce from Liguria, Italy, will quickly become a staple in your kitchen.
  • Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto. Take your pesto game up a notch with our gorgeously red, flavor-packed sun-dried tomato pesto. Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes add an umami flavor bomb to the classic basil and cheese mixture, creating a complex and well-balanced sauce.
  • Garlic Scape and Basil Pesto. Garlic scapes, the long and curly, tender stems that grow from the center of garlic bulbs, are an early-season gift for garlic lovers.
  • Vegan Artichoke and Walnut Pesto. Delight your foodie friends at dinner parties—and stick to a vegan diet—by tossing hot pasta with this gorgeous, Roman-style pesto sauce.
  • Mint Pesto. Wake up your taste buds with our refreshing mint pesto. Its bright and garlicky flavor is a wonderful addition to spring pasta salads, and the included feta cheese makes it an especially fabulous complement to Easter lamb dishes.
  • Nut-Free Vegan Pesto (French Pistou) Originating from Nice in Provence, pistou is basically the French cousin of Italian pesto. Just like pesto, it's a simply delicious Mediterranean sauce made with basil, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt—but contains no nuts or cheese, so you can enjoy it on a vegan diet.
  • Basil Sunflower Seed Pesto. Shake up your pesto game with this unique and tasty sunflower seed and basil pesto. Raw, unsalted sunflower seeds are a budget-conscious alternative to pricier pine nuts, and bring a lightly nutty flavor to the herbaceous sauce without adding actual nuts.
  • Ramp Pesto. Ramps, sometimes referred to as wild leeks or wild garlic, are one of the true culinary delights of spring. Use a bunch of garlicky ramps from the farmer's market to make an earthy, flavorful Italian-style pesto for dressing spring vegetables, noodles, and pasta salads.
  • Kale Pesto. Got kale? You may not know it, but kale (and other leafy greens) can substitute for basil to produce delightful and unusual pestos. This nut-free kale and Parmesan pesto is boosted with garlic and parsley leaves for a yummy and nutrient-dense sauce you can toss with hot cooked pasta, stir into steamed rice, or use to flavor risottos.
  • Pumpkin Seed Pesto. Whether you have pumpkin seeds for roasting after carving the Halloween Jack-o-lantern or pick up the roasted, shelled seeds from the store, it's always a good time for our fabulous pumpkin seed pesto.
