Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, quick, condiments

Time 20m

Yield 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 pound broccoli florets
2 garlic cloves, peeled, green shoots removed
1 cup basil leaves, tightly packed
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
1 1/2 to 2 ounces (1/3 to 1/2 cup) freshly grated Parmesan, or a mixture of pecorino Romano and Parmesan, to taste

Steps:

  • Steam the broccoli for 6 minutes, until very tender but still bright. Remove from the heat, rinse and drain on paper towels.
  • Turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade and drop in the garlic. When the garlic is minced and adhering to the sides of the bowl, stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the broccoli and the basil to the machine and turn on. When contents are finely chopped, stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Turn on the machine again and drizzle in the olive oil. Purée until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste and the grated cheese, and process until well blended.
  • Transfer to a bowl and serve as a dip, spread or sauce with pasta. If serving with pasta, this amount will be plenty for a pound of pasta. Thin out with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water before tossing with the pasta.

  • Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Meanwhile, prepare a mixing bowl with some ice cubes. Add a cup of broccoli florets into the water and blanch them for 30 seconds. Then transfer immediately to the mixing bowl with ice cubes (or run under ice cold water) to stop cooking. Note: If you're using a full head of broccoli, triple the other ingredients (medium head of broccoli yields ~3 cups of broccoli florets!)
  • Add ¼ cup of pine nuts to a skillet and toast them over medium flame for about 1 to 2 minutes until it smells nutty (it'll brown slightly but make sure to not burn it!)
  • Add a cup of blanched broccoli florets, a cup of fresh basil leaves, ½ cup of toasted pine nuts, and 2 to 3 garlic cloves to a food processor and pulse until it forms a coarse mixture. Check notes for nut-free options!
  • Add ¼ cup of olive oil slowly through the chute of the food processor to emulsify the pesto. If your food processor doesn't have a chute, add the olive oil 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches desired consistency. Stir in a teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of black pepper and your pesto is ready! You can also garnish with some fresh lemon juice (optional!)
