With that being said, last night I taught my little cousin how to make Pesto from scratch - because homemade pesto is the only way to go and extremely easy.
Pesto Sauce
Combine in food processor: - Basil leaves (One bunch from the grocery store or a couple had fulls from your garden)
- Two garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup olive oil (you can always add more)
- Salt
- Pepper
---
- Boil water for pasta - Place pasta in the pot once the water boils
- Begin by sauteing the bell peppers in olive oil and a little salt. While the peppers are sauteing, brown the Italian sausage for 5-7 min then cut up.
- After straining the noodles, place the bell peppers, Italian sausage, butter, pesto sauce, 1/4 cup of cream (optional), salt and pepper in the original pasta pot. Cook on low for 5 min. Add pasta and let sit covered for 5 min. Pour 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese on top and combine.
