This sauce from the Lombardy region of Italy is a fantastic companion to meat. A dollop on top is all you need! I also mix this with plain pasta as a variation on basil pesto. There are a number of different ways to do this. Optional basil and mint or dijon mustard or parmesan cheese can be added, but here's the basic recipe.

1 cup (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup fresh parsley, leaves only
1/4 cup pine nuts
2 tablespoons capers
1 garlic clove
3 anchovy fillets
red wine vinegar, to taste
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt & pepper
1 cup basil leaves (optional)
1/2 cup mint leaf (optional)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

1
Blend all the ingredients in a blender or with pestle and mortar.
2
Leaving it to stand for a while allows the flavors to develop.
3
Mix with pasta or place a dollop on meat or fish.
4
Enjoy!

Clean, sharp and robust flavored sauce. I used all the optional ingredients and therefor increased the olive oil. We used this sauce on grilled salmon and what was leftover I added to cooked pasta...both were excellent!! The sauce keeps well for several days in the fridge.
