basil-hazelnut pesto
Aug. 13th, 2010 11:43 pmI made basil-hazelnut pesto tonight and it was great. I did it totally on the fly and it is a keeper. I threw ~two cups fresh basil leaves, four cloves of garlic, ~1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, ~1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes that had been soaking in hot water for a while, and ~1/2 cup roasted hazelnuts in the food processor and blended it while I streamed in some olive oil. I tossed it with cooked pasta, some pasta cooking water, some more sun dried tomatoes and more cheese and it was so, so good. S. scarfed it up as well.
