IT’S PESTO!

fresh, herbaceous basil with rich pine nuts, comforting olive oil, powerful
garlic, and zesty parmesan cheese to create a totally distinctive, totally
delicious topper for pasta, meat, and more. Use your Magic Bullet
to make this amazing sauce in a snap!
10-12 fresh basil leaves
2 Tbsp of pine nuts
2 Tbsp extra-virgin
olive oil
1½ tsp coarse salt
(optional)
1-2 cloves of garlic
1 small chunk
Parmesan cheese
1 Add all ingredients in the order
they appear into the Tall Cup. Screw
on the Cross Blade and pulse until the
pesto has the consistency of a slightly
grainy paste.
2 Transfer the sauce to a microwave-
safe bowl and cook on high for 2 to
3 minutes, or heat on the stove in a
saucepan until thoroughly heated. Stir
and serve over hot pasta.
Ingredients will be hot. Use caution when
removing sauce.
TIPS:
• To top with more fresh parmesan cheese,
add a chunk of Parmesan to the Tall Cup
and twist on the Cross Blade. Chop until the
consistency is a coarse powder. Sprinkle
on top of pasta and sauce. • Alternatively,
pesto makes a great dip. Serve hot or at
room temperature with sliced Italian or French
Bread or use as a sandwich spread.
