4 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • 2 (1-ounce) packages fresh basil
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry dough, thawed
  • 3/8 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400°.
  2. 2
    Place nuts and garlic in a mini food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Add cheese; pulse to combine. Remove large stems from basil. Tear leaves, and add to processor; process until very finely chopped and almost paste-like.
  3. 3
    Unfold dough, and roll into a 10 x 9-inch rectangle. Spread pesto over dough all the way to edges. Sprinkle with salt. Roll up both long sides of dough, jelly-roll fashion, until they meet in the middle. Place in freezer for 10 minutes.

    Cut dough roll crosswise into 20 slices. Arrange slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 400° for 16 minutes or until lightly browned.
