Simple Italian pesto adds depth to many dishes besides pasta (although tossed in bowl of al dente linguine is reason enough to love it). Bring dips, meats, sandwiches, and even soups to life with this glorious green basil-filled sauce.

Time 5m

Yield Makes 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 small garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
3 ounces fresh basil leaves (3 cups)
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/4 cup cup grated Pecorino Romano
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Use the side of a chef's knife to mash garlic clove with kosher salt until garlic breaks down. Transfer to the bowl of a food processor with toasted pine nuts. Pulse until a paste forms. Add fresh basil leaves in two batches, pulsing until finely chopped. Add grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and grated Pecorino Romano; puree until combined. Transfer to a bowl; slowly whisk in extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt. Store in an airtight container, covered with a thin layer of oil, for up to 2 days.
  • In a food processor, combine toasted nuts, basil, Parmesan, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Process until finely chopped. With machine running, pour olive oil in a steady stream through the feed tube; process until smooth.
