I have always liked pasta with pesto sauce. Never realized how easy it is to make the pesto sauce.
2 cups basil leaves
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (don't add if you want to freeze and store the sauce)
1/2 cup pine nuts (lightly roasted on a pan) or walnuts
3 garlic cloves
Salt and pepper..
Just run this in the mixer and you have pesto sauce. If you intend to store it, skip the cheese, run everything else in the mixer. you can pour the paste into ice cube maker to make cubes of the sauce. freeze them; once frozen the cubes can be packed into a container. You can then use the cubes as and when needed. Just before using, after you have defrosted the cubes, add the parmesan cheese to it and the sauce is ready... wow.. so easy...
