How to Make Pesto Lower in Fat

You know that we love basil, so of course we love pesto too, especially during the summer. But pesto is a little high in fat to be eating every day. So we've been challenging ourselves lately to make a low-fat pesto that we love as much as the real thing. The problem with most low-fat pesto recipes is that they just don't have that punch of basil flavor, or they aren't very creamy. Most of them replace the oil with something less caloric, but yogurt is too tangy, and chicken stock doesn't have the rich mouth feel that we love so much.

Simplicity reigns in this traditional sauce—just basil, garlic, cheese and olive oil.
