Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by placing your food processor on a stable surface. Gather pitted Castelvetrano olives and 6 tablespoons of olive brine, then combine them in the processor's bowl. Secure the lid tightly and pulse the mixture until it begins to break down, forming a chunky paste. This should take about 30 seconds.
- Next, add the fresh parsley, chopped dill, basil leaves, and garlic cloves to the olive mixture. Drizzle in extra virgin olive oil, bringing a rich, velvety texture to the green olive pasta sauce. Pulse again for about 30 seconds until these ingredients blend together harmoniously.
- Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and freshly cracked pepper while the processor is running. Blend for an additional 15 seconds, checking the flavor as you go.
- Continue processing the mixture until it reaches a smooth, pesto-like consistency—this typically takes another 30 seconds. Add more olive oil if needed.
- Once your green olive pasta sauce is ready, take a moment to taste it and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Toss it over your favorite cooked pasta, or use it as a dip for fresh veggies or toasted bread. If you have leftovers, store in a sealed container.
