Description

One of our lovely customers passed on a recipe that her father, an amazing cook and lover of food, had created. The nutmeg gives this pesto its special "Milto" quality. 

Ingredients
  • 2 cup Basil (packed tightly, stripped from stems, coarsely chopped)
  • 5 clove Garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup Olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Pine Nuts
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 1 cup Parmesan or Asiago (Grated)
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
Instructions

  1. Put everything except cheese in a blender and blend at high speed until smooth, stopping blender every 5-6 seconds to push stuff down with a rubber spatula.

  2. The sauce should be thin enough to run off the spatula easily. If it seems too thick add as much as 1/2 cup more olive oil.

  3. Transfer sauce after completely blended to a bowl and stir in 1 cup grated Parmesan. 

  4. Add 1-2 Tablespoons hot pasta water before mixing sauce with pasta.
