Light Pesto Sauce image

My pesto sauce uses less oil than most pesto sauces. This makes it thicker, but it also makes it a lot lighter. NOTE: This recipe works perfectly if you want to substitute cilantro for basil, and if you use walnuts, almonds, or pecans in place of the pine nuts.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch fresh basil
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons parmigiano-reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Peel skin from garlic cloves, and chop into big chunks.
  • Using a food processor, pulse basil, garlic, and nuts several times until finely chopped.
  • Add cheese and ¼ cup of the olive oil, and pulse until blended.
  • Pesto will be thick, so add more olive oil if desired for a looser consistency.
