We love Genovese Pesto.......it is aromatic, healthy, and delicious!!

From a dear friend, I have received a book "Espumas" from Mastrad, and we have been enjoying these recipes!!.....Thank you my Dear!!

Red Bell Pepper Foam, Goat Cheese Foam , and Pesto with Goat Cheese and Shrimps

Red Bell Pepper Foam

2 red bell peppers
1 garlic
Cayena pepper
30 cl whipping cream

Peel off the bell pepper, and clean the seeds. Cut it in stripes, and cook it along with the garlic in a microwave for 5 minutes in a microwave (700 W).

Blend it, and add the cayenne pepper. Add the cream, and pass it through a fine strainer. Put this mix in a siphon, add a gas. Shake it two or three times, and leave it in the refrigerator.


Goat Cheese Foam 

100 grams of Goat Cheese (soft)
10 cl whipping cream
Salt
Pepper

Mix the goat cheese with the cream, and add salt and pepper. Pass it through a fine strainer. Put this mix in a siphon, add a gas. Shake it two or three times, and leave it in the refrigerator.

Pesto with Goat Cheese and Shrimps

Shrimps
70 grams of goat cheese
60 grams of basil leaves
8 tablespoons of Parmiggiano Cheese
2 garlics
1/2 cup of olive oil
2 tablespoons of pine nuts
salt

Blanch the basil leaves. In a mortar (or food processor), crush the basil leaves along with the garlic. Add the olive oil, and pine nuts. Incorporate the Parmiggiano cheese and salt. Set aside.

In a pan, add olive oil and heat it. Add clean shrimps and cook it. Mix the shrimps with pesto and the goat cheese.

Plating:

In a glass, first add the Pesto with Goat Cheese and Shrimps, then the Red Bell Pepper Foam, and on top the Goat Cheese Foam .......ENJOY!!

Remember those Spiral Breads with Fresh pesto and Cheese that I made from Caro?.....this time I made the same recipe, with basil, without cheese, in a different shape..... The shape is fantastic!!.....you can use your own recipe.....ENJOY!!
