Who would have thought it possible to create Liturgically colored sauces? Well, Fr. Leo did! Join him in the kitchen at Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland as he jumps into the kitchen and dives into our Catholic faith. Bring your appetite. You’re going to get hungry! In this episode Fr. Leo shows you how to make an INCREDIBLE green pesto sauce.

Want to make it yourself? Here’s the recipe:

BASIL PESTO SAUCE [Green] (serves 4)

2 cups of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
¼ cup of pine nuts
2 pinches of red peppers flakes
1/3 cup of grated parmesan cheese
2 cups of fresh basil leaves (washed and dried)
1 teaspoon of kosher salt
½ teaspoon of pepper

1 box of penne pasta cooked al dente

Cook pasta according to instructions on box. Saute garlic and toast pine nuts by heating a teaspoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic whole and allow to brown on all sides. Add 2 pinches of red pepper flakes and pine nuts and allow pine nuts to brown slightly. Remove from heat as soon as pine nuts develop some color. Let cool. Prepare the blender or a food processor. Add the rest of the oil, basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, salt and pepper, and parmesan cheese. Allow to blend until desired consistency. To assist the blending process, you may have to add more olive oil or occasionally stop the blender / processor and stir ingredients. Pour over hot pasta. Add more cheese if desired.
