Pesto Sauce (Light)
b>Ingredients:
2 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
3 cloves garlic
3/4 cup boiling chicken broth
1/4 cup pine nuts, roasted
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
sald and pepper
Directions:
Mash basil leaves with 3 cloves of garlic in food processor or blender. (You may wish to take the additional time to do this in a mortar and pestel as it releases the flavor a bit more, but it is not necessary.) Add chicken broth, pine nuts, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Blend thoroughly.
You can spread this over noodles or fish, and is generally best if you simmer it before doing so. You can also freeze this for up to a year in the freezer, but the garlic flavor will slowly dissipate with time.
