Recipe Summary Basil Cream Sauce

After a mad search on the net for a recipe for this sauce I had to create my own. This can be reheated in the microwave without the usual cream sauce defects. I just love the light green color and how well it displays over tri color or regular pasta, salmon and grilled chicken. I have been putting this on everything.

Ingredients | Classico Traditional Sweet Basil Pasta Sauce Recipe

2 cups fresh basil leaves

4 cloves garlic, minced

¼ cup olive oil

2 ounces pine nuts

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

salt and pepper to taste

1 pint light cream

Directions

In a food processor, combine basil and garlic. Begin processing, and pour in olive oil in a thin stream. Process for about 40 seconds, or until mixture begins to emulsify. Add pine nuts and Parmesan, then blend for 1 minute.

Heat cream in a saucepan over low heat until simmering. Pour 1/2 of the hot cream into the processor with basil pesto, and pulse for 20 seconds to incorporate. Pour mixture back into cream, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
