Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/4 cups fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup toasted walnuts
1/4 cup scallions -- cut into 1" pieces
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup low-fat low-sodium broth -- chik'n or vegetable broth
3 Tablespoons grated reduced-fat parmesan cheese
Place the basil in a food processor or blender.
Process until finely chopped. Add the walnuts, scallions, lemon juice, garlic and pepper. Process with on/off pulses until the walnuts are finely chopped.
With the motor running, gradually add the broth and Parmesan, blending until well-mixed.
Recipe Tips: Pesto can be frozen in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
Serving Suggestions: Toss this delicious Italian paste with hot pasta or spread on toasted slices of Italian bread. You can use it as a baked-potato topping or stir it into soups at the last minute.
Alternate: Mixed Herb Pesto: Replace the 2 1/4 cups fresh basil leaves
with 3/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, 3/4 cup fresh dill and 3/4 cup fresh
basil leaves. Or, substitute any available fresh herbs. Just make sure
that amounts stay the same.
