Today I am offering a cookbook - Food Processor Cooking - Quick and Easy. I've had this book a long time and don't think I've made a thing from it! So, it needs to find a new home.
Food Processor Pesto -- Serves 4 to 6 with pasta
- 3/4 cup pine nuts
- 3 cups packed stemmed fresh basil leaves
- 1 1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 medium garlic cloves, peeled
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Spread the pine nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet with a rim (so they don't fall off) and toast in the oven, stirring occasionally, until they turn light golden brown, about 10 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent scorching. Transfer the pine nuts to a dish to cool to room temperature; they'll continue to darken in color slightly from residual heat.
- Put the pine nuts, basil, olive oil, Parmesan, and garlic in a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade. Pulse the machine on and off until the ingredients look coarsely chopped. With a rubber spatula, scrape down the side of the work bowl. Continue pulsing the machine until the pesto is fully pureed but still has a little texture to it.
