Pesto
Pesto is an Italian basil sauce. Many variations of this sauce exist including different nut based pestos, different herb based pestos, sun dried tomato pesto, and black olive pesto. Here is a basic low fat version: 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon nonfat plain yogurt, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated, 1 tablespoon pine nuts, 3 cloves garlic, 1 cup fresh basil, firmly packed. Place all ingredients in blender until almost smooth. Pesto tastes great with pasta, pizza, bread, meats, risottos, or stirred into soups.
