Pesto Sauce

Pesto Sauce

This is really easy and very tasty! It sounds mad, but believe me is a REALLY nice!!!  If anyone trys it, let me know what you think!

1 Tub of Quark

1 basil plant

2 Cloves of Garlic or more!

Black Pepper

Soy Sauce (light is best, but dark is fine)

1 oz strong cheese (optional)

  1. Wash off the Basil leaves and chop up. Peel the garlic.
  2. Put everything in a blender and blend until smooth.
  3. For 2 people, put half in a bowl in the fridge for 24 hours, the other half you can freeze.
  4. After 24 hours, check the consistency, it should be the thickness of double cream. Add more soy sauce if too thick.
  5. Cook pasta as normal and drain. Put back into the pan and add enough sauce to lightly coat the pasta. ( not too much, 250g dry pasta = 1-2 heaped tablespoons full of Pesto)

The flavour is very strong and you don’t need to add much sauce.

You will be amazed how like the real thing this is…even without oil and pine nuts!  It is also really nice if you mix in some peas and baby sweetcorn.

Sin’s = free on a green day

Use cheese as a ‘b’ or don’t use it at all.
