Cómo preparar Walnut And Ricotta Pesto Michael Chiarello

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread 1 cup walnut halves in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast for 10-12 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned.
Remove from oven and let cool completely. Roughly chop the toasted walnuts.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté until lightly golden (about 1 minute).
Transfer the sautéed garlic to a food processor. Add 2 cups packed fresh basil leaves and the chopped walnuts. Pulse until finely chopped.
Add 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup olive oil, and the zest of 1 lemon to the food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the pesto to a bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately over 1.5 pounds cooked pasta (like your favorite long pasta shape) or use as a dip with crusty bread or vegetables.
