Pesto recipe?

escape1st · August 2009

I remember about a month ago that there was a post w/ different pesto recipes. Would you all mind posting those again?

BTW, does anyone have any luck w/ the search function on here? I don't...

Mine is easy-

make bowtie pasta (or something chunky that "holds" sauce)

make up some chicken- I usually just cut it into chunks and microwave it in my tupperware microsteamer, but honestly any method would work

make the pesto sauce

Mix it all together, add a little italian cheese. Voila, you're done! I usually will serve it with a salad or some steamed broccoli.

1 cup fresh basil leaves, packed

2-4 cloves of garlic, depending on personal preference

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

2 tbsp pine nuts, toasted

salt & pepper, to taste

Spin everything in a food processor until broken down, then drizzle in extra virgin olive oil until it reaches the consistency you like. I like mine a little thicker, some people like theirs thinner.

I usually serve with fettucine rigate - it has ridges that hold the sauce to it. Smooth pasta doesn't work so well.
