A few weeks ago I posted a quick dinner idea from Trader Joe's, Genovese Pesto Marinated Chicken and my goal was to come up with a do-it-yourself version that turned out SO SO SO good! Now pesto sauce is really easy to make- it takes minimal ingredients, very little talent and is bursting with flavor, not to mention really reasonable on the ol' pocket book. There are lots of different options of what to do with the sauce, so get creative... baked chicken, pesto pizza, or maybe some tasty pasta??? Feel free to share your ideas too!
Ingredients:
Directions:3 cups fresh basil
2/3 cup olive oil
2/3 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup pine nuts
5 cloves garlics & amp; p
This is super easy- put all the ingredients in a food processor (or Vitamix!) and blend until it's a creamy consistency.
*** After making the dough, you can add to cooked pasta and throw in some fried chicken and chopped dried tomatoes, or you can coat little 'first salsa chicken and cook 400 for 30 minutes and serve over or along the bed side of pasta. The last time I did this, I was at the side of roasted Brussels sprouts and cauliflower, and sprinkle with balsamic vinegar flavors and juices of all races together a wonderful mix!
