Our slimmed-down version of this Italian classic relies on chicken broth — and just a touch of olive oil — for texture.
Ingredients
Pine nuts
2 tbsp(s)
Fresh basil
2 cup(s), leaves, fresh
Reduced-sodium chicken broth
½ cup(s)
Grated Parmesan cheese
¼ oz
Olive oil
1 tbsp(s)
Garlic
2 clove(s), large, peeled
Table salt
½ tsp(s)
Instructions
1
Place pine nuts in a small skillet and set pan over medium heat. Cook until nuts are golden, shaking pan frequently to prevent burning, about 3 minutes. Transfer nuts to a plate to cool.
2
In a blender or food processor, combine nuts, basil, broth, cheese, oil, garlic and salt; process until smooth and thick. Yields about 60ml (1/4 cup) per serving.
