Pesto Sauce

Salsas Bechamel, pesto y barbacoa

Ingredients:

  • 100 g basil leaves
  • 2 peeled cloves of garlic
  • 80 g raw pine nuts
  • 100gr extra virgin olive oil
  • 50gr grated Parmesan cheese
  • 30gr grated pecorino sardo or romano cheese

Preparation:

  1. Place the coarsely chopped cheeses in the blender. Blend on speed 10, 30 seconds until pulverised. Set aside.
  2. Place the remaining ingredients in the mixing jar and press “pulse” for 3 seconds. Repeat the operation 3 times.
  3. Add the cheeses and mix on speed 1, 10 seconds.
  4. If the sauce is too dry for your intended use, add a little more oil.

Tips…

  • You can keep it for a long time in the fridge in a closed container – as long as it is covered with oil.
  • Some people add a little lemon juice to the sauce. In this case, keep in mind that its shelf life will be substantially shortened.
