Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 large shallot, minced fine
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/3 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2-3 tablespoons basil pesto (a good store bought brand will work just fine)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Sauce ... Add the shallot, white wine and broth to a small pot and bring to medium high heat (a light boil). Immediately reduce to a simmer until it is reduced by about 1/3. Add the pesto and mix to combine. Continue to cook another minute to combine all the flavors and heat the pesto through. Note: Pesto can be very oily .. so, make sure to stir it well before adding to your sauce. I also like to use a slotted spoon. And, as mentioned - there are many store bought brands that are quite good; but, you could certainly make your own.

  • Step 2: Serve ... Great over ravioli, tortellini; or tossed with your favorite pasta. Drizzle over grilled fish, or pork as well. ENJOY!

We hope you enjoy this recipe!
