Pesto alla Genovese Made with Roasted Pine Nuts

cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp

I make this pesto alla genovese every year. I've made it with roasted pine nuts for years. It goes well with pasta, toast, or white fish and asparagus. I've also made it with peanuts but pine nuts taste best.

Roasting the pine nuts and then adding them to the sauce makes it smell so, so delicious. They have a high oil content, so be careful not to let them boil. If Parmigiano-Reggiano is difficult to find, you can use grated cheese. If you want to make it more or less salty, change the type of cheese you use accordingly. Sprinkling black pepper on while eating gives it a great smell. Recipe by Brandy

Steps

1

Roast the pine nuts. They're done when they brown. Wash the basil and dry. (I let it sit on a paper towel for a little while). Smash the garlic with a crusher etc. Grate the cheese.
2

Place all of the ingredients, excluding the basil, into a food processor and mix. When combined, add the basil and spin it again. Then it's done. Optional: sprinkle with black pepper when you eat it.
3

Genovese Toast. Spread on the genovese sauce, sprinkle on the parmesan cheese, and bake in the oven. It's so good.

When storing it in a jar, don't add the cheese while making the sauce. Place it in a boiled (sterilized) jar. Pour in a tiny bit of olive oil on top to prevent oxidation.
12

If freezing it, make it without cheese and place it in a freezer bag. Thin it out and place it in the freezer. Break off the amount you will be using and return it to room temperature. Use it as is if cooking with it.
13

Seasonal Green Asparagus. It goes very well with these.
