Title:

Basic Pesto Sauce Recipe

Descrition:

The key to making creamy pesto is to add the ingredients to the food processor in the right order to ensure that the nuts break down to a fine paste before the greens have a chance to turn brown Use basic basil pesto as a pasta sauce, or thin it out with a little olive oil to drizzle it over steak, chicken, fish, pizza or tomato salad The mint-pistachio variation is inspired by the chef Travis Lett, of Gjelina in Venice, Calif.
