Jurack The key to making creamy pesto is to add the ingredients to the food processor in the right order to ensure that the nuts break down to a fine paste before the greens have a chance to turn brown Use basic basil pesto as a pasta sauce, or thin it out with a little olive oil to drizzle it over steak, chicken, fish, pizza or tomato salad The mint-pistachio variation is inspired by the chef Travis. Traditionally, pesto is a sauce made of fresh basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil and aged hard cheese such as Parmigiano-Reggiano and/or Pecorino Sardo. And strictly speaking, that's what it still is. To a certain extent, however, the notion of pesto has become an archetype, its meaning has expanded to encompass any preparation.
Steps to make Pesto sauce:
- Add basil and pine nuts to a food mixey and pulse several times
- Add garlic and cheese and pulse again several times. Remember to keep scraping the sides
- While mixey is running on slow, slowly add the olive oil. Adding it like this will keep the oil from separating. Occasionally stop to stir in the sides.
- Stir in the salt and freshly ground peppers to taste
- Use pasta stock to sauce to make creamier to taste
Exquisite in its simplicity, the only thing I added was a pinch of kosher salt. A hint for keeping the pesto mix creamy~ save some of the cooking water from the pasta. Add it slowly to the drained pasta & pesto paste. It will make a creamy, hot sauce that will coat the pasta smoothly. Pesto is my favorite sauce for any pasta.
