PESTO GENOVESE | AUTHENTIC ITALIAN BASIL PESTO



Pesto Genovese | Authentic Italian Basil Pesto image

Pesto Genovese is an uncooked cold sauce made only with 7 ingredients: Genovese basil DOP, extra virgin olive oil (Possibly of the Ligurian Riviera), Parmigiano Reggiano (or Grana Padano), Pecorino cheese (Fiore Sardo), pine nuts, garlic and salt. It was born in Liguria, a beautiful region situated in northern Italy. It's one of the sauces most used in our country and nowadays it's famous all over the world.

Time 15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

50 g of small basil leaves (about 60/65 leaves)
1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil
70 g (½ cup) of Parmigiano Reggiano or Grana Padano
30 g (2 tablespoons) of Pecorino Fiore Sardo
2 peeled garlic cloves
15 g (1 tablespoon) of pine nuts
4/5 grains of coarse salt
ice

Steps:

  • Wash and dry the basil leaves very well on a kitchen towel. Place them in a food processor with garlic, pine nuts and grated Parmigiano. Chop coarsely for a few seconds then add salt and Pecorino Fiore Sardo cheese cut into small pieces. Blend all the ingredients for about 1 minute.
  • Add extra virgin olive oil. Blend for about 5 minutes, until you'll get a creamy green pesto sauce. Pesto must not heat up, so be careful to work quickly, using the food processor at minimum speed and at intervals, that is, blend a few seconds, stop and start again.
  • Before seasoning your pasta dish, if the basil pesto is too thick, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of the cooking water; this way you'll have a warm homogeneous soft pesto sauce.

OUR FAVORITE PESTO GENOVESE



Our Favorite Pesto Genovese image

Our Favorite Pesto Genovese -- creamier and silkier than most pestos, this blended version is the perfect complement to fat ribbons of pappardelle. And easy as can be.

Provided by Emily Stoffel

Categories     Recipes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3.5-4 oz fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 small cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
2 T pecorino romano cheese
2-4 T reserved pasta cooking water
sea or Himalayan pink salt, to taste
For Serving:
12 oz dried pappardelle pasta, prepared according to package directions

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt liberally and cook pasta according to package directions, reserving about 1/4 cup pasta cooking water. While pasta cooks, combine basil, cashews, olive oil and garlic in a high powered blender (we are currently using this one) and blend until combined, scraping down sides as needed. Add cheese and 2 T pasta cooking water; blend again until just smooth. If pesto is still too thick, add a splash more cooking water, one tablespoon at a time. Season to taste with salt. Serve with hot pasta. Enjoy!

PESTO CREAM SAUCE



Pesto Cream Sauce image

Serve this delicious sauce over your favorite pasta for a quick, delectable meal. Do NOT substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream if you want a thick sauce. Heavy cream contains at least 36% milkfat. Half-and-half, just like the name says, is half milk and half cream and is no more than 18% milkfat. If half-and-half is used, the sauce will only be half as thick as it would if heavy cream were used. Also, if the amount of butter is reduced, that will also make the sauce thinner, as butter is 80% milkfat.
