HEALTHY CREAMY PESTO SAUCE



Healthy Creamy Pesto Sauce image

This is a recipe I make over and over--it's simple, fast, healthy, inexpensive and good for any season/occasion. I love creamy pesto sauces over pasta, but ya know those sauces ain't so healthy: high in fat, sodium, or both. Even those little packets of creamy pesto sauce in the "gravy" aisle aren't good for you. This sauce is better for you and even faster to make than one of those packets! You can adjust to taste or what you have on hand: I've used fat-free yoghurt, low fat yoghurt and (my favourite) homemade yoghurt--you can buy fresh at an Indian grocer. The recipe makes about a cup, which you can mix with cooked chicken or sauteed mushrooms (or both, like I do!) or steamed clams or steamed veggies and pour over enough cooked pasta for 2-4 people. I'll post other recipes with some of my favourite uses, but be creative!

Time 2m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup plain yogurt
3 -4 tablespoons basil pesto (homemade or store bought, whichever you have/prefer)
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Mix yoghurt and pesto together in a small saucepan, stirring well to blend.
  • Heat on low until warmed through (do not overheat).
  • Add fresh ground black pepper to taste.
  • That's it!
  • Serve over your favourite hot pasta or other main dish, such as fish or chicken.
  • (if you skip the heating step, this makes a good salad dressing, too).

LOW CARB PESTO CREAM SAUCE RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Low Carb Pesto Cream Sauce Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by aerin8

Number Of Ingredients 3

2/3 cup (159g) basil pesto (recipe)
1 1/3 cup (317g) cream, heavy whipping
salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Add the two ingredients to a pan and heat over medium heat. Once it simmers, turn to low heat and let it continue to simmer, reduce and thicken. You can make it quicker by cooking over high heat, but you need to watch it and stir it. When it's thick and gloopy, season to taste Calories Fat Protein Carbs Fiber SA's Net Carbs Per Serving: 558.05 59.28g 5.29g 4.6g 0.68g 0g 3.92g Pesto: Ingredients: 3 each (9g) garlic cloves, diced 2/3 cup (144g) extra virgin olive oil 2 cups (141g) packed, cleaned and dried fresh basil leaves (about a large bunch's worth) 2 tsp (10g) lemon juice 1/4 cup (33.75g) pine nuts, toasted 1/4 cup (25g) parmesan (reggiano) cheese, grated 1/4 cup (25g) pecorino (romano) cheese, grated salt and pepper, to taste Method: Add the garlic, salt and half of the olive oil to a food processor, with a sharp blade. Pulse the processor and blend for 30 seconds. Add the basil and lemon juice, then pulse for a further 30 seconds. Add the pine nuts and cheeses and then pulse to your desired consistency. If it's too thick, add more olive oil to adjust the consistency. I tend to like mine a bit on the paste-y rough side, but some like it smooth and saucy. Use immediately or store covered with a thin layer of extra virgin olive oil. This will help prevent the pesto from turning brown and will allow it to last longer in the fridge. 8 Servings Calories Fat Protein Carbs Fiber SA's Net Carbs Per Serving: 213.29 22.46g 2.9g 1.7g 0.51g 0g 1.19g

LIGHTER BASIL PESTO



Lighter Basil Pesto image

Basil pesto is one of my favorite foods, especially in the summer. Unfortunately pesto is very high in fat and calories, so I have been working to create a lower fat and calorie version.
