This is a recipe sent to me by my younger sister. Her cooking includes a great variety , cuisine from India and other parts of the world. She happily caters to all the taste buds in her family. Thanks Shuchi.
1/2 cup (125ml) Olive oil
Ingredients
1/4 cup ( 400 gr) pine nuts (chilgoza) or walnuts
2 full cups of fresh Basil leaves
2 chopped garlic cloves
1/4
cup (25 gr) of shredded Parmesan cheese 1/2 cup (125ml) Olive oil
Start with the pines, basil leaves, garlic and Parmesan ; put all
together in a food processor until they are all fine minced then add
the olive oil slowly while the food processor is working, until it all
become a smooth paste, add salt and pepper as desired.
My Suggestion: For pasta you can mix it with
half&half/whipping cream or to add few spoons of the water that the
pasta is boiled in to dilute the pesto.
