I Heart: Homemade Pesto

April 29, 2010 by Jocelyn Leave a Comment

How great is pesto!? I love it because:
1. It’s heart-healthy
2. It’s easy-as-pie to make a big batch and freeze
3. It whips out of the freezer and plops onto plain noodles or pizza dough (with meat and/or veggies if you want) with panache

4. A little bit goes a long way
5. My hubby likes it a lot

Here’s the recipe I used recently:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup pine nuts, chopped
2 cups fresh basil leaves, firmly packed
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
5 cloves garlic, peeled and quartered
a dash of s & p
We had it a few nights ago atop whole wheat spaghetti noodles, alongside chicken pieces, sauteed asparagus, peas, onions, and mushrooms, and topped with feta cheese. Yum!
