S A U C E S

Pesto

A classic pasta sauce from Italy. One cup is enough for 1 pound of pasta. It’s also good on boiled potatoes or in soups.

INGREDIENTS

4ounces imported Parmesan cheese, at room temperature, cut into

1-inch (2.5cm) pieces

4

small garlic cloves

2-2/3

cups tightly packed fresh basil leaves

1/3

cup pine nuts

3/4

teaspoon salt

1/3

cup olive oil

Use metal blade to chop cheese and garlic, about 30 seconds. Add remaining ingredients, except oil, and process until combined, about 8 pulses. With machine running, pour oil through feed tube. Process until combined, about 10 seconds. Scrape bowl and continue processing until smooth, about 20 seconds.

Pesto keeps for up to 5 days in the refrigerator and it also freezes well. Some people prefer to omit the cheese when freezing pesto and add it just before serving.

Yield 1-1/3 cups.

No-Cook Cranberry-Orange Relish

Only 1 cup of sugar sweetens 1 pound of cranberries. Most cooked relishes call for 2 cups of sugar.

 

INGREDIENTS

2

cups fresh cranberries

1/2

navel orange, unpeeled and quartered

1/2

cup sugar

Use metal blade to coarsely chop fruit, about 8 to 10 pulses. Add sugar and process to combine, about 20 seconds. Store in refrigerator.
