Pesto sauce is great, but it usually has olive oil, not chicken broth. This recipe substitutes with chicken broth.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup chicken broth or 2/3 cup vegetable stock
2 garlic cloves
1 cup fresh basil
1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons pine nuts
Directions:
1. Combine stock and garlic and heat in the microwave on high for 5 minutes (or heat on the stove). Allow to cool.
2. Chop basil in food processor. Add cooled stock, Parmesan cheese and pine nuts. Whirl until everything is finely chopped and blended.
3. Meanwhile, cook pasta of your choice. Toss sauce with pasta. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Use as a topping for fish, chicken or potatoes also. Makes 4 servings.
