The Secrets of Perfect Pasta
Pesto sauce is a classic Italian sauce that is a perfect accompaniment to pasta. The sauce is made with fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, and olive oil. The ingredients are blended together to create a smooth, creamy sauce that has a deliciously fresh and vibrant flavor. Here's how to make it:
Start by washing and drying a large bunch of fresh basil leaves. Remove the leaves from the stems and place them in a food processor.
Add a couple of cloves of garlic and a handful of pine nuts to the food processor. Pulse the ingredients together until they are finely chopped.
Next, add a cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese to the food processor. Pulse the ingredients again until the cheese is well combined.
While the food processor is running, slowly pour in a half cup of olive oil. Continue blending until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Taste the pesto sauce and season with salt and pepper as needed.
That's it! Your pesto sauce is now ready to be used. You can serve it with your favorite pasta and top it with additional parmesan cheese and pine nuts for added flavor and texture.
