Josh is allergic to nuts so I actually made a French "pistou," which is similar to pesto, but has no nuts. There are several variations of pistou, it usually has I used basil leaves, garlic, parmesan cheese, a little lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper. I combined everything in my food processor and had. Boil the penne pasta til al dente.
Instructions to make Pasta al pesto (Nut-less):
- First wash your basil leaves and remember to remove any blackened leaves - this is so your pesto can last longer as I like to make the paste in large batch. In this first step, also - salt a big pot of boiling water with a splash of olive oil and pour your pasta in to cook.
- Put the Basil leaves in a food processor/blender - whichever you have at home. Pour in the olive oil, pepper and salt. Blend lightly.
- Peel the skin off your garlic cloves, and I would recommend to use a pestle and mortar to bruise the garlic before adding to the mixture, this would bring the garlic taste to the next level. After adding in garlic, pour in your parmesan cheese and continue to blend the mixture. These two are totally up to your taste. You can put more garlic or more cheese.
- For the meat portion of the dish, generally you can grill a salt and pepper seasoned-chicken breast and then slice it to bite size pieces as a topping. Or in my case/version, I panfried my bacon (without any oil, I use the fat rendered from the bacon to complete frying the bacon bits).. and voila - you are done!
- Before draining your pasta, collect a cup of pasta water to create the sauce consistency.
- Mix your pesto sauce onto your pasta and pour in that cup of pasta water and you will have a pan of Pasta la pesto… garnish with bacon bits. Or top it off with the bite-sized chicken breast.
- Enjoy your meal with a refreshing pot of mint tea. I don’t know why, but that just does it for me.

Once both are ready combine them into a saucepan and add the cream and When the cream has thickened add pine nuts and the rest of the Parmesan. Serve straight away with some crusty bread.
