BASIL CREAM SAUCE



Basil Cream Sauce image

After a mad search on the net for a recipe for this sauce I had to create my own. This can be reheated in the microwave without the usual cream sauce defects. I just love the light green color and how well it displays over tri color or regular pasta, salmon and grilled chicken. I have been putting this on everything.

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups fresh basil leaves
4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup olive oil
2 ounces pine nuts
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1 pint light cream

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine basil and garlic. Begin processing, and pour in olive oil in a thin stream. Process for about 40 seconds, or until mixture begins to emulsify. Add pine nuts and Parmesan, then blend for 1 minute.
  • Heat cream in a saucepan over low heat until simmering. Pour 1/2 of the hot cream into the processor with basil pesto, and pulse for 20 seconds to incorporate. Pour mixture back into cream, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
