Hi you lovely peoples of You Tubes!
Now I know it's not Wednesday yet but I couldn't wait to show you my traditional basil pesto!
It's so simple, so easy peasy BUT a lesson for you... do not wash the basil! With or without the nuts it still tastes fantastic!
Love you!

Passion for cooking translates to love from the heart. When it becomes a chore or job, its time to leave the kitchen :)

Top tip for anyone not wanting to burn the basil: stick the blade in the freezer for an hour before doing this, and that way it won't affect the color or the taste of the pesto as the blade remains cold, despite the friction.

😂 It would take a lot of processing to “burn” the basil. Between pulsing the food processor and all the ingredients, you’re not going to “burn” the basil. It’s pesto, not surgery.

Ho aggiunto il succo di limone giusto per sbaglio e ora non so come faccio a coprirlo. Non so cosa mi ha preso ma me ne pento profondamente - non ci sta 😂 Però mi sa che con la pasta al tonno un tocco di limone ci può stare bene. Mo' vedemmo!

I made pesto with walnuts this summer and it was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. Especially good with gnocchi. I should have made my own from one of his recipes. I used all of the leaves on my basil plant and had to make up the volume with parsley and it was still really good. But next year I will plant multiple basil plants.
