Pesto doesn't contain nuts. Sometimes they contain pine nuts or cashews, but no nuts.

@@pryingeyes1551 pine nuts etc are still in the nut family and people have allergies ton them.

Hi Melissa, I’m glad you are excited about this recipe, it is delicious 😋 Of course you may reduce the cheese. Play with the recipe until you find the best fit for you. The other option is to just lightly sauté’ garlic, salt & chopped basil in a fry pan then toss your pasta in it and serve. Enjoy and be sure to subscribe ❤️

nutritional yeast is a good substitute for cheese

Use vegan cheese.

LOL 😅 Todd... Yes, this recipe is one of my favorites. If you want to add nuts, alternatives to pine nuts are sunflower seeds or walnuts. I like it just simple & plain 😋 Enjoy!

Ha, of course pine nuts are authentic & delicious in pesto, especially if they are fresh (not easy to find fresh). Enjoy & thanks for sharing the idea! Be sure to subscribe 😋

I couldn’t find any at my grocery store so I have to use this recipe but I wanted to try it with the pine nuts 😭

@@mehakr276 did it taste close to the original pesto sauce?

Hi Cheryl, Thanks for watching my video. You're going to love this recipe! You may add either lemon or vinegar, beware, the more you add, the more it changes the taste of the pesto. The other option is a vegetable wash bought at the store. I just like the low cost, handy versions to clean my produce 😀 Enjoy and be sure to Subscribe ❤️

Shakuntla Devi Enjoy! 😋 Be sure to subscribe for more great recipes!

Hi Mariel, Great question. I've never heard of using anything but Olive Oil for Pesto, but doesn't hurt to try. Personally, I think vegetable oil will change the taste dramatically & Coconut Oil will be thickening and may lessen distribution onto your pasta.... just guessing, but worth a try. Let me know how it goes. Be sure to subscribe 🙏

Great Question! Since it contains such fresh ingredients, I have found 3 days to be best, but, it can last as long as 5 days. Enjoy! Be sure to Subscribe for more great ideas and recipes.

Mardell Hill thanks for replying 😊

It's a smaller one, 3.5 cups. You will love this pesto, Enjoy! Thank you for subscribing :) You will also like the Broccoli Soup I posted recently 😋

Hi Anya, A fine powder of cheese will make the pesto more dense. The quality of the cheese will also enhance or deduct from the pesto flavor. Try making it with the ingredients you have on hand this time. Then, next time try it with a hand grated block of Parmesan and decide what’s best for you 😋 Be sure to subscribe 💃 and thanks for watching my video!

@@MardellHill Thank you, I will try it

Jane Smith I have not heard of using avocado in a pesto, but nothing impossible if it works for you. Try it and let me know if it works 😉

Yes, absolutely 👍 enjoy 😊 the pesto pasta is good cold the next day too

@@MardellHill thank you I will

Thank you for trying this recipe. Great idea about sunflower seeds as a substitute for pine nuts. As mentioned, for people with nut allergies this recipe helps them enjoy pesto. Also, since seeds are related to tree nuts, caution may be necessary with adding seeds. Thanks for watching my video, be sure to subscribe for more great recipes :)

Yes, you can substitute seeds such as sunflower or pumpkin (papitas) instead of nuts. However, seeds & nuts are in the same family &, while a person may be sensitive to one, another may work find for them. Also, seeds & nuts may become rancid, causing digestive issues... Freezing or toasting reduces the possibility of bad bacteria or mold. Enjoy!

Substitution for parmesan ?

@@nourhannihad4797 nutritional yeast

Mg Goh, I am so pleased you like this recipe. It took a while to perfect it, so, I’m not sure about exchanging the cheese. Honestly, I think cheddar cheese will not work, cheddar works best in a cream sauce. Also, the Parmesan (hard) cheese, hold the basil & garlic mixture together. Therefore, omitting it altogether will not make a pesto, just an olive oil, basil & garlic pasta toss. Feel free to experiment and let me know how it goes 👌

Karen M Hill it's because I'm allergic to parmesan cheese, if you know of any other cheese which would work will you let me know please

Karen M Hill Thank you for your reply will definitely purchase your recipe book .

You will be glad you did! Enjoy :)

Mardell Hill hi, you can use nutritional yeast, it has some cheesy taste to it and it’s good for you, I’m using it in really strict diet, so I think that you will be fine with it .

Hi Mihai, what a great question. It’s easy, just package the extra basil in small, airtight containers and store in the freezer. Enjoy 😋 Be sure to subscribe ❤️

Hi Masanja, each garlic close equals 1.5 teaspoons of garlic paste. Enjoy 😋 Be sure to subscribe 😁

Of course... the blend I used is a combination of Parmesan Cheese and two other hard cheeses. It's just a difference in flavor... no matter what, it will be delicious for you :) Enjoy!

@@MardellHill thank you so much...I will definitely try this ❤️

Thank you Steve for trying this recipe! It is truly amazing tasting... if you prefer, try a different oil, just not sure it will taste right though... Be sure to Subscribe!

Hi Marites, Usually 3 days is safe in the fridge. If you would like to store it for longer, put some into small containers and store in the freezer. Enjoy 😋 Be sure to subscribe!

Hi Steph, Great question! This is why I only use a small amount of acid solution, to prevent the smell/taste ruining the flavor of the basil (recipe). I've found a diluted solution for a short period of time works well to clean but not spoil the taste. Try it and let me know your thoughts 👍 Be sure to subscribe 😋

Mardell Hill will do thank you!!

Ah! 3 ounces of basil, 4 cloves of garlic. Thank you

Great question. Because I say it quickly at 2:40 seconds in the video, it is a total of 3 ounces washed and dried. Enjoy, its delicious & health!

Lenny F great idea Lenny .... that will be a lot of nuts thrown out. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to always pick out each and every nut that doesn't look perfectly fresh. Great idea for those that have the time, money & energy to run back and forth to the store or pick through a bag of nuts one by one 👍😊 thanks for your idea!

you should always buy your nuts a bag at a time, never one by one.

Lenny F rancid nuts... Hahahaha hahahahaha :D

No, you must use a hard cheese when making pesto. Any hard cheese, such as Parmesan, Asiago, Manchego, Ramano, etc. Enjoy :)

+Mardell Hill thanks I guess

Diola Vani I hope you have access to a hard cheese. Mozzarella cheese will melt in the pesto and make is gooey. Not a good idea 😉 With the right cheese or mixture of hard cheeses, it is really delicious! Enjoy 😋

Thank you very much. I would like to try it by all means at home.

You are most welcome. Enjoy!

I'm off for tomorrow so I'd like to try it. Let's Go！

Hi Vinay, That's a great question. During the video shoot, my director did not catch the mistake and it was not discovered until editing. The decision was made that the video material/recipe was good enough, that we figured people would forgive my slight error in the word "sea" after Himalayan, by mistake. While confusing, it was an innocent error. I apologize. Use any salt that best fits your needs 😀

@@MardellHill someone was paying attention 😂

@Issaname So true and rare in this day and age! It would have been so helpful if my videographer was paying attention at the time of the video shoot 😂

Brian Smith, great question! Pine nuts are absolutely wonderful for those that either like the taste or can tolerate them. Unfortunately, some people have sensitivity to some or all nuts. This pesto is a delicious nut free alternative. However, if you prefer nuts, of any kind, in your pesto, please feel free to add those to this recipe 😊 Enjoy!

What would hold it together? Creamed basil & salt? Try it and let me know how it turns out...

Hi Bora Deda, yes, you may use a blender, however, it is dense and may be difficult to get out. Use a scraper and you should be fine. Enjoy 😋 and be sure to Subscribe!

Himalayan salt is rock salt or halite from the Punjab region of Pakistan. It is mined at the Khewra Salt Mine in Khewra, Jhelum District, Punjab, which is situated in the foothills of the Salt Range hill system in the Punjab province of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. It is located approximately 310 kilometres (190 mi) from the Himalayas. You can also contact mercola.com OR seasalt.com to find out more...

you completely missed my point. bu thanks for telling me where the himalayas are? they are near any seas, so not sea salt.
