FREEZE IT: BASIL PESTO



Freeze It: Basil Pesto image

This simple Italian sauce brings summery flavor to all sorts of dishes, including pizza and pasta. When you plan on freezing pesto, cook the basil briefly in salted water before mixing with the other ingredients; this will help preserve its bright color and fresh taste. Pesto is traditionally made with cheese, but we find it's just as good without (and it freezes better, too). If you like, add a bit of grated Parmesan after pesto has thawed. Other uses for pesto: • spread on a roasted-vegetable sandwich • stir into vegetable soup • thin with water and vinegar for a salad dressing • mix with mayonnaise to make a dip for vegetables • stir into mashed potatoe

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h

Yield 1 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup walnuts or 1 cup pine nuts
coarse salt
pepper
8 cups lightly packed fresh basil leaves (4 ounces)
2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Spread nuts evenly on a rimmed baking sheet; toast in oven until golden and fragrant, tossing once, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, bring 4 cups salted water to a boil; add basil, and submerge with a spoon. Immediately drain in a colander. Rinse with cold water until cool, then pat basil completely dry in paper towels.
  • In a food processor, combine nuts, basil, and garlic; season generously with salt and pepper. Process until nuts are finely chopped. With machine running, pour oil in a steady stream through the feed tube; process until smooth. Use immediately, or freeze. To freeze, spoon pesto into an ice-cube tray (2 tablespoons per cube); cover with plastic wrap. Freeze overnight, then transfer cubes to a resealable plastic bag; keep up to 6 months. Defrost pesto at room temperature, about 20 minutes (or at 30-second intervals in the microwave). Mash with a fork before using in recipes.
