Our slimmed-down version of this Italian classic relies on chicken broth — and just a touch of olive oil — for texture.

ngredients



2 Tbsp pine nuts

2 cup(s) basil, leaves, fresh
1/2 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth

1/4 cup(s) grated Parmesan cheese

1 Tbsp olive oil

2 medium garlic clove(s), peeled

1/2 tsp table salt

Instructions

  • Place pine nuts in a small skillet and set pan over medium heat. Cook until nuts are golden, shaking pan frequently to prevent burning, about 3 minutes. Transfer nuts to a plate to cool.

  • In a blender or food processor, combine nuts, basil, broth, cheese, oil, garlic and salt; process until smooth and thick. Yields about 1/4 cup per serving.
