PESTO RECIPE
Recipe Booklet
Our pesto is lower in fat than traditional pestos, and just as flavorful.
Makes 11 1⁄3 cups
Preparation: 5–10 minutes
2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano, cut into ½-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves
3 cups packed fresh basil leaves
4 to 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
5 tablespoons lightly toasted pine nuts or walnuts
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
(1.) Insert the metal blade. With the machine running, drop the cheese down the small feed tube and process to chop, about 10 seconds. With the machine running, drop the garlic down the small feed tube; process to chop, about 5 seconds. Scrape the work bowl.
(2.) Add the basil to the work bowl. Pulse to chop, 20 to 30 times. Scrape the work bowl. With the machine running, add 4 tablespoons of the olive oil in a slow drizzle through the hole in the pusher; add the remaining olive oil to taste. Scrape the work bowl; add the pine nuts and salt, and pulse to incorporate and chop the nuts.
(3.) Transfer to a jar to store. Let rest for about 30 minutes before using, to allow the flavors to blend.
(4.) Refrigerate to store, with a layer of olive oil poured over the top to prevent discoloration. Keeps 5 days in the refrigerator, or may be frozen.
