BASIL WALNUT PESTO PASTA AND CHICKEN



basil walnut Pesto pasta and chicken image

I tried a reduced fat Pesto sauce recipe a while back. I didn't care for it. It lacked flavor. I decided to make one by reducing the fat. This is not a very low fat recipe. It has olive oil in it. It is a reduced fat version I made up. My family liked it. My husband being a fussy Italian ate almost 3 plates of pasta with this...

Categories     Gravies

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c basil leaves,or more depending on what you like
2 clove garlic
1/4 c virgin olive oil
1/4 c parmesan cheese
2-3 slices of bread
1/2 c walnuts
1/2-3/4 c sour cream
1 pinch garlic salt
1 pinch black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Put basil.walnuts,and parmesan cheese in food processor. Blend well. add remaining ingredients starting with olive oil,and sour cream. You can adapt ingredients to get the flavor you are looking for.
  • 2. Chill
  • 3. Keep in fridge and stir in to warm pasta before serving. I do a serving at a time.
  • 4. Cut chicken breast up. I use chicken tenders. cook in olive oil add a clove of garlic minced when chicken is almost done. Don't want to burn garlic. add garlic salt and pepper to taste. I transfer my chicken to grill to give it that grilled flavor.
  • 5. steam broccoli.Serve brocooli and chicken on top of pasta with sauce
  • 6. note: you may use lite sour cream and reduced calorie bread in this recipe. Originally I came up with this to reduce the calories.The bread gives it a texture as if there is more cheese in it than there really is.

WALNUT PESTO CHICKEN WITH GARLIC AND PARMESAN



Walnut Pesto Chicken With Garlic and Parmesan image

This is my own recipe I just made today and it was delicious ^^ So please try it out. It is freakin delicious!

Provided by Vylet Chef

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups fresh basil leaves (packed)
1/3 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup walnuts (chopped)
3 garlic cloves (medium sized, minced)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
2 lbs chicken breasts (Diced, Boneless, Skinless)
3 garlic cloves (smashed)
1 lb egg noodles

Steps:

  • Combine the basil in with the walnuts, pulse a few times in a food processor. Add the garlic, salt and pepper then pulse a few times more.
  • Slowly add the olive oil in a constant stream while the food processor is on. Stop to scrape down the sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula. Add the grated cheese and pulse again until blended.
  • If the chicken is frozen, then cook the chicken in about a half cup of water till it is thawed enough to dice into cubes. Smash the garlic and add to the water and finish cooking the chicken.
  • Boil a pot of water and add the egg noodles and cook to desired softness, I like mine a little al dente so it only took about 6 minutes. Drain the water from the noodles and chicken and mix it all together with the pesto.

400g pasta (I used orecchiette)

handful fresh basil , leaves roughly torn, plus extra to serve (optional)
100g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), freshly grated, plus extra to serve (optional)
50g butter
4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
50ml double cream

Steps:

  • Boil the pasta. Meanwhile, put the walnuts and garlic in a food processor and whizz until finely chopped. Add the basil, cheese, butter and oil and pulse a few more times. Season.
  • Pour the cream into a pan and warm through. Add two-thirds of the pesto, then gently heat to loosen it. When the pasta is ready, drain, reserving 2 tbsp of the cooking water, then mix both with the sauce. Serve immediately, sprinkled with the extra Parmesan and basil, if using. The leftover pesto will keep in the fridge for up to a week, or frozen for up to a month.
