Welcome to Sunday Shadow Shot!
Inspired by our shadow picture, we are sharing an easy-peasy Pesto Recipe perfect for a dinner"al fresco".
We hope you'll give it a try!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh basil leaves, packed
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan-Reggiano or Romano cheese
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup pine nuts or walnuts
- 3 medium sized garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 Combine the basil in with the pine nuts, pulse a few times in a food processor. (If you are using walnuts instead of pine nuts and they are not already chopped, pulse them a few times first, before adding the basil.) Add the garlic, pulse a few times more.
2 Slowly add the olive oil in a constant stream while the food processor is on. Stop to scrape down the sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula. Add the grated cheese and pulse again until blended. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Makes 1 cup. Serve with pasta, or over baked potatoes, or spread over toasted baguette slices.

Well thanks for visiting my site, glad you enjoyed the journey :)! What a wonderful collection of pitchers, especially that old fashioned bowl and pitcher. I think I may have had a past life in the 1800's :)
I haven't quite figured out how this SSS thing works, but I'm beginning to get the hang of it :)
Okay... Now we are like... HUNGRY! You know we love our pesto, and this one sounds yummy! Great shot girls, love the scale (and the garlic!)

Pesto season will soon be upon us too.
My basil is growing well so I might be able to try this recipe next month. I love the shadow shot of the garlic on the scale. You two have a great eye.
