HOW TO MAKE PESTO LIKE AN ITALIAN GRANDMOTHER
A vibrant pesto recipe taught to me by my friend Francesca's mother who came to visit from Genoa, Italy. Made with hand-chopped basil, garlic, Parmesan, olive oil and pine nuts. The real deal.

Steps:
- Start chopping the garlic along with about 1/3 of the basil leaves. Once this is loosely chopped add more basil, chop some more, add the rest of the basil, chop some more. I scrape and chop, gather and chop. At this point the basil and garlic should be a very fine mince. Add about half the pine nuts, chop. Add the rest of the pine nuts, chop. Add half of the Parmesan, chop. Add the rest of the Parmesan, and chop. In the end you want a chop so fine that you can press all the ingredients into a basil "cake" - see the photo up above. Transfer the pesto "cake" to a small bowl (not much bigger than the cake).
- Cover the pesto "cake" with a bit of olive oil. It doesn't take much, just a few tablespoons. At this point, you can set the pesto aside, or place it in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it. Just before serving, give the pesto a quick stir to incorporate some of the oil into the basil. Francesca's mom occasionally thins the pesto with a splash of pasta water for more coverage, but for our gnocchi this wasn't necessary.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until very very al dente, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Position an oven rack in the bottom of the oven and preheat the oven to broil.
- Heat a large, heavy-bottomed ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper and dredge in the flour, shaking off the excess. Add the chicken to the skillet and brown on both sides until golden brown, 2 minutes per side. (Note: the chicken should only be seared, not cooked through. It will finish cooking in the oven.) Transfer the chicken to a wire-racked baking sheet.
- To the same skillet, add the butter, cremini, porcini and shallots and cook, stirring minimally to aid in browning, until the mushrooms are deeply caramelized, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, another 20 seconds. Deglaze with the marsala, scraping up any browned bits. Add the stock and bring to a simmer. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Off the heat, add the pasta and stir well to coat with the sauce. Top with the browned chicken, then a layer of freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Broil the pasta in the skillet until the cheese is browned and the pasta and chicken are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
