Pistou Basil Sauce
A simple herb sauce from Provence, France. It's similar to pesto but no nuts or cheese, so great for people who have nut or lactose allergies, or for when you just want something easy without having to worry about buying pine nuts and cheese.
This is often used to garnish vegetable soups, and it makes an amazing dip for bread, meats, etc. or for garnishing pastas and grilled/steamed veggies.
*note you can use a mortar and pestle if you don't have a food processor.
Makes about 1/2 cup. Keep for 7-10 days in the fridge.

Pesto Sauce Pesto Sauce
My friend Petra showed her purple basil and I was so intrigued. I actually never saw it before. I grew some and am now harvesting my first bit. I thought this would be fun and whimsical to change from the norm. I added a small amount of shallot and different cheeses to further have fun and flavor in a traditional recipe. It still turns out mostly green.lol

I harvested a lot of basil from the a pot in my garden, so I tried adding some to my usual tomato sauce.If you cook down the sauce too much, thin it out a bit with pasta cooking water.If you don't simmer the sauce enough though it will be watery.If you don't have fresh basil, substitute dried basil.If you don't like the sourness of tomato, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar.

Basil Sauce Pesto Genovese Basil Sauce Pesto Genovese
I found fresh basil in a local produce shop at a rest stop on the highway...You can keep this in the fridge for 1 week. You can also freeze it, so when I make it, I put half in the fridge, and the rest in small batches in the freezer.I only have a juicer so I used 100ml of oil (as it doesn't blend very well). 80ml is OK if using a food processor.

The basil pasta I had at a restaurant was delicious, so I tried making it at home using home-grown basil leaves to make the sauce!Using thick cuts of bacon and basil sauce that doesn't contain pine nuts is only my preference.You can do other preparations while the pasta is boiling. Don't forget to set aside 100 ml of the pasta water!I recommend thick cuts of bacon, cut into sticks for a nice texture.Fresh basil leaves are great for a garnish! Recipe by Hamumaki -
