For episode 3 of my new series ITA-LEAN I am tackling one of my favorite pasta sauces, BASIL PESTO! In this recipe I cut the amount of olive oil in ½ and reduce the quantity of nuts. To maintain the creamy texture of the sauce I add steamed zucchini (or cauliflower) and starchy pasta water. Pesto Light ½ zucchini diced or ½ cup defrosted frozen cauliflower 4 cloves of garlic ¼ cup pine nuts or walnuts ¼ cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino Romano ¾ tsp salt ¼ tsp pepper 4 cup fresh basil packed (see NOTE below) ¼ cup olive oil ½ cup pasta water Note: To sneak in more iron try swapping ½ the basil with fresh raw spinach. -To steam the zucchini fill a medium sized pot ¾ of the way with water. Bring to a low boil. Place diced zucchini into a colander that fits over the pot. Place the colander with the diced zucchini over the boiling water. Place a lid over the colander and let the zucchini steam for about 4 minutes or until tender. Remove and set aside. -To a food processor add garlic, pine nuts, grated parm, salt, pepper, fresh basil and zucchini. -Run the food processor on high and begin streaming the olive oil and pasta water.
