Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 cup soft white bread crumbs

1 1/2 cups packed fresh flat-leaf parsley

1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

3 large garlic cloves -- chopped

1/2 teaspoon coarse salt -- or to taste

 

Preheat the oven to 350F (175C). Spread the bread crumbs in a single layer on a

light-colored baking sheet (a dark surface tends to overbrown them). Bake for 2

to 3 minutes or until lightly toasted, stirring once. Set aside to cool

slightly.

 

Combine bread crumbs and all the remaining ingredients in a food processor

fitted with the metal blade or in a blender; process to blend until a smooth

paste is formed.

VARIATION:

Winter Pesto - replace half of the toasted bread crumbs with 1/4 cup toasted

pine nuts.

 

Italian flat leaf parsley, generally available in brunches year-round, is the

answer to a cook's prayer for good pistou - and lots of it - when the only fresh

basil to be found is inside those meager (and expensive) plastic containers at

the supermarket. In fact, to create a greener sauce, many gourmets will often

add parsley to their summer pesto as well. This sauce is wonderful tossed with

hot pasta, rice, couscous, or steamed vegetables. Thinly spread, it makes a fine

topping for toasted rounds or bruschetta. This with pasta water for a sauce.

This recipe doubles easily.
