Description
Sorrel is a lovely, lemony flavor. I remembered this lemon asparagus pasta sauce recipe that I used to make all the time. I thought the sorrel pesto would be interesting, with the addition of the cheeses that a traditional pesto has.
Because I feel sorrel is lighter than basil, I used a combination of pine nuts and walnuts as the nut addition. If you have extra sorrel around, try this for a simple, yet unique pasta dish.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Packed Sorrel Leaves, Thouroughly Washed And Dried
- 4 cloves Garlic, Roughly Chopped
- ¼ cups Pine Nuts
- ½ cups Walnuts
- ¾ cups Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil (I Like Athena Brand)
- ¾ cups Grated Parmesan Reggiano Cheese
- ⅓ cups Grated Pecorino Romano (Locatelli) Cheese
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
