PESTO SAUCE?

Re: anyone have a recipe for...

I have used this recipe a couple of times and it is very good, I got it on the Food TV website - I do it in a small food processor.

Pesto:
12 medium fresh basil leaves, washed, dried, and coarsely chopped
3 medium garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons pine nuts, lightly toasted
Pinch salt
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

In a mortar and pestle, pound the basil, garlic, nuts and salt until thoroughly mashed. Add the oil, a few drops at a time, until you have a smooth paste.
Pesto can also be made in a blender. Pour in the oil first, then the garlic, nuts, and finally the basil leaves. Blend on low to a smooth paste. Season with the kosher salt.

Yield: Scant 1/4 cup

I marinated white fish (cod i think) in pesto and then baked it. I put white beans in a pot with some pesto to heat, put that as the base, put the fish on top- YUMMY
