Fresh Herb Sauce Recipe By Tasty

HOW TO MAKE GREEN SAUCE (VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE

Steps:

• In a food processor with the blade running, drop the garlic through the feed tube to chop. Add the herbs (whatever you have-feel free to use a mix!) and nuts or seeds. Process until finely chopped.
• Add a splash of lemon juice, lime juice or red wine vinegar. I usually squeeze in the juice of a 1/2 small lemon or lime, or start with about 1 teaspoon of red wine vinegar (remember, you can always add more but you can't take it out!). Season with salt and pepper. If using any add-ins, add them now and puree until finely chopped.
• If you prefer a lighter sauce, add a tablespoon or two of water. With the motor running, drizzle in extra virgin olive oil until you get a spoonable, pesto-ish consistency.
• This is the most important step: taste the sauce! This is your time to adjust the seasonings as desired. More nuts will thicken up the sauce, a splash more acid will give the sauce more spunk, and another drizzle of olive oil will round things out. There should be a good balance of flavors, and the final result should taste good to you. If you have the time, let the sauce sit, covered, for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

HERB SAUCE IN 5 MINUTES

Steps:

• MAKE HERBS SAUCE: Finely chop herbs and green onions. Stir together with other dressing ingredients except oil. Slowly whisk in oil. Alternatively (I do this): put all herb dressing ingredients in a processor and pulse to blend well. Or use an immersion blender. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. Serve at room temperature.

• Put all the herbs, zest,garlic and onion together on a cutting board.
• Chop all together until garlic is about 1/4 inch. Heat 2 tbls. extra-virgin olive oil in 12-inch skillet over medium high heat. Add herb/garlic/onion mixture to pan, lower heat to medium, and sauté with salt and freshly ground black pepper, taking care not to burn garlic-it should go about 5 minutes and be light blonde.
• Set sauce aside while cooking pasta. Just before draining, stir 2/3 cup pasta water into pan. Drain pasta, bring herb sauce to boil, and then add pasta to pan. Toss over medium low heat about 2 minutes. Season to taste and then toss with cheese. Turn into a bowl and serve. Enjoy!
