Some of the most beautiful basil plants I've ever seen.

Thank you for making a short and sweet, to-the-point recipe! I had this on loop as I made a batch and it was so easy to follow. My soul requested two cloves of garlic, so I can’t eat it like soup. Absolutely delicious.

Both basil and spinach lose all of their vital nutrients when blanched or steamed. It’s no longer a “superfood” since you’re cooking out the benefits. Just an FYI to those who decide to blanch/steam.

Wait…what did you roll your garlic in? Are you about to change my life?

I just realized I’ve had a garlic peeler in my kitchen drawer for years and never knew what it was! 😂

Nice Basil plants! Those looked very healthy and happy 😁

I like that ypu did it in a short 😊 just short and simple thank you😊

To stretch the storage a bit, we can drizzle some olive oil on the surface which keeps it from oxidising. Try to choose deeper narrower airtight container so you don’t have to put that much oil to cover it. I do the same for mint chutney which also has the tendency to oxidise quickly

Waiting for her to run 🏃‍♀️ 🤣🤣❤

Thank you for posting the recipe! That increases the chance of me using this recipe. I have soooo many saved videos, planning to 'someday' get the recipe written down.

She’s a keeper

I agree about the garlic!!! ❤❤ DELICIOUS

My son loves to watch your videos with me 😁 he’s turning 7 yes old in a couple weeks. He thinks you’re hilarious 😆

Beautiful 😍… … also the recipe is not bad 😋

Can't wait to make this! Thank you! 😉

Love your video so much! ❤

It’s delicious. Made it with spinach instead of the basil leaves and added some dry basil. Recommended

I'm not gonna lie I came across your shorts and instantly fell in love with yo face and just how you are and whoever your man is he's a lucky sumbish 😅 keep doing your thing 💯

This was informative, thank you

I love when she says molcajete hahaha delicious recipe 👌

The problem in using a blender instead of a mortar and pestle for the pesto is that it will not extract the full flavor of the ingredients and if it heat up even a little bit it destroys the essential oils of the basil and garlic . And this is why mustard or olive oil are using cold pressure techniques . For other ingredients it works at the opposite , when you make a curry for example you heat up your dry ingredients (spices )as they will release more flavours and then you put them in your pestle with your wet ingredients (chilies / garlic etc …) . That is all these little details who makes a big difference . Also with a blender it is very difficult to control the granulometry of the finish products you either might have a completely smooth finishing or bits that are too big .

That's a beautiful sleeve !

I have a nice front porch pot of basil. My Asian friend at her store told me to just take a stem of my basil put it in some water n a little glass n my kitchen window, and it roots beautifully. It is so convenient to step out on the porch and pinch it off. She only charged me $1.00 for a bunch of Asian basil but rooting it worked great.

omg finally someone who also calls it a molcajete

Love the way you pronounce Molcajete!!

I’m in love

Awesome ❤

Gosh, thank you !! Great recipe, and you my dear are beautiful, to add with the mix. How does someone get to be so pretty ?

Gonna try it this weekend

This looks freaking amazing Trazia! I have about 20 basil plants in my tomatoe bed that are huge and I've been trying to figure out what to do with it. Basil is supposed to make tomatoes next level and apparently it's true because everyone that eats my tomatoes say they're the best they've ever had.

Those are Italian eyes for sure. Great recipe thanks

You are soooo pretty

Suddenly I'm into cooking.

Delicious 😋

Great recipe and l have to say you have the most beautiful green eyes.

I love your beautiful, green garlic peeler.

I'm in love...how nice

You look really adorable. Thanks for the recipe by the way.

two to three tablespoons makes Basil pesto the best pizza sauce just by itself, add some Italian seasoning, mozzarella cheese and fixings, to taste.

“Never too much garlic” said like a true Italian😂

Can i borrow your plant. Its so beautiful

Could I ask what light you used to film this video? :)

I'd blend the nuts and then the cheese, and then the basil/garlic personally

❤❤❤

Is it okay to use bottled parmesan bought from stores? we dont have much fresh cheese in my country

Hi is it possible to make it without the pine nuts and is it possible to use another oil?Thanks also its looks sk good😋

Fresh pesto…….delish!!!!

Wait. Is there a green eyes filter on this? Everything matches them. The kitchen and the sauce even.

I have an oc named Basil...I laughed too much at this

Damn ..those eyes look right thru u

A cup of olive oil and a cup of Parmesan🤯

Saw the title at a glance and thought it said "homemade pistol" lol

I can’t seem to find bulk amounts of pesto in the grocery store. They only have those tiny packs, it’s not close enough. Maybe I can find it in a farmer’s market or something.

Wonderful beauty 😍 🙏

Beautiful eyes

Damn, the pesto video I watched, the guy added like 5 times that amount of olive oil. And I really did think my finished pesto with too oily. This recipe looks better

Yo any dirt or bugs on the basil are still there because you had it in the strainer part to start with...

I fainted when you said Molcajete 🥵

What happen to "get a pan" that was funny.

Is this only me or anyone else also noticed that her favourite colour is olive green ?!

You don’t toast pine nuts with oil. The nuts release their own oil and ah whatever. Do what you want

tomb raider makes italian food

😋🤤😋🤤

How do u keep your basil alive? 😭

Yummy

The dress, the eyes, the pesto and the background. All are in perfect ambiance 😊

Pine nuts toasted DRY SKILLET!!! No oil needed

I love you!

Jamie Oliver style lol

I'm done! This is my last heartba... 😱

If you microwave that lemon you can get more juice out of it….and you don’t have to squeeze ass hard

Sigh ❤️

You don’t need to toast the pine nuts.

I don't understand why women who are so pretty get skulls and spider tattooed on. Clearly it's your body and you can do whatever you want but I just get it

What did you just make? 👍🏾❤️🙏🏾🇳🇵😉🙃

Molcajete!!!

Is that Rani Mukherjee? 😂

Pesto Eyes

No pepper and lemon juice in the Pesto, please...

Whats pinut??😀

❤❤❤❤ wird morgen gemacht😊

Showed up for the hot chick, stayed for the delicious pesto

I prefer tomato pesto. Much better 🎉

I'm sorry, this is so shallow, but you are one of the most attractive cooks on KZfaq. (Your recipes are pretty good too).

...................... I wasn't watching for the pesto 😏

Thanks! I don't think you mean 1 cup of oil haha😂!

Ok I have a crush on her

God bless you! Only Jesus saves!! ‼️🤍

I demand Only fans pesto

It's basil not basil

Okay.. now I'm in love.

No, the everything is raw in pesto.

Damn, you are good looking!

A molcajete is not the same as a mortar and pestle. A molcajete is nearly always made of stone with a coarse interior texture. While a mortar and pestle can be made of nearly anything, and is smooth.

Who’s freezing pesto?

Tattoos

I can watch all day long... I wonder why...

She looks ran through I'll pass

That is no pesto.
