-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1             medium zucchini -- roughly chopped
1            handful fresh basil leaves
2                     garlic cloves -- (2 to 3)
     1/4           cup extra-virgin olive oil -- up to, as needed
     1/2           cup freshly grated raw sheep pecorino
                        Salt and pepper to taste
Process the zucchini, basil, and garlic in a food processor and pulse
until slightly coarse, drizzling olive oil as needed to blend. Add the
cheese and puree for 1 minute until incorporated. Season with salt and
pepper as needed.
MAKES 1 PINT
Traditional pesto contains pine nuts, Parmigiana Reggiano, and a lot of
olive oil. This is a cleaner version, omitting the pine nuts but adding
zucchini for a rustic mouthfeel, substituting sheep pecorino for Parmesan,
and using a scant amount of oil to blend all the ingredients.
