Pesto Recipe

[agwhitaker]

Butter, parsley ?????

TOTALLY BOGUS RECIPE !

Pesto has-

fresh basil

grated goat or sheep cheese

olive oil

pine nuts

garlic

and a trace of salt + pepper

Any other recipe is an evil-fake-nasty distortion.

i discovered the joy of pesto about two years ago, and it quickly became an indispensable element in my kitchen arsenal.

[concubinage]

It is funny how she needs to read the recipe...

[MustGrill]

jinx216k,

My mom never had a food processor, either, and she used a mortar & pestle. Or just chop everything up as fine as you can. Or try it in a blender.

You can try your favorite oil; olive oil is just the traditional oil used.

[baguiopunx]

are there any substitute for olive oil when making pesto?

[jinx2162k]

I want to make this recipe asap... but i am new recent grad and dont own a food processor.. is their any hope?

[RecipeCook]

I made a nice sandwich with pesto & mayo mixed together, smeared inside of a pita, tossed in some grilled veggies and topped it with Feta - really good.

[SierrasDawn]

Thanks for the video, that was awesum!! I swear I can smell that thru my computer monitor.. Lol!

[willsmith66367]

i thought using a food processor doesnt make a good pesto :S

[Aprilshowersss]

interesting. Ive been making pesto for years and I freeze it in cubes. It has never turned dark. Always stays BRIGHT green

[sanhasuke]

How many servings that you can make in that pesto? Thanks ma'am....

[kumaryder]

She is very funny....like the way she explains......about cheese and blanching basil leaves: why waste time? lol lol lol

[deopatra]

Can you eat it fresh? Or does it need to be frozen first??

[RecipeCook]

@deopatra It's great fresh!!! Rita from AboutEating. com

[italiancherrywine]

((My first taste of Pesto))

Hi I made it and feasted on it over fresh pasta but it kind of tasted like minty salty nutty licorice sauce and pasta. I mean it was O.K. and hit the spot but did I do something wrong??

I forgot the Garlic..

Now I am belching Basil :)

[Jalban]

butter? in pesto? really?

[9aspengold5]

I made a load of this pesto and have it frozen. After defrosting I spread it on toasted thin sliced french bread, topped with a slice of tomato. I have also popped a few in my marinara sauce. Perfect way to salvage the huge amount of fresh basil I grew this year in my garden. Thank you for the recipe and freezing tip.

[RecipeCook]

@9aspengold5 Glad you like it. It really is the best recipe for the freezer. I'm making a batch today too! Rita from AboutEating

[aleemax]

[LoveUMag]

prezzemolo e burro....ehehehe...nn è la ricetta vera, ma contando ke ha detto ke al posto dei pinoli si poxono mettere le noccioline, direi ke nn mi stupisco del prezzemolo...^^

[chakira56]

my aunt used to make pesto..this vid reminds me of her...

[Yaraabulaban]

i own the same measuring cups you used! both the glass and the plastic! :)

[americamatters]

I'll definitely be making that this summer. Thanks.

I've heard that some people don't add the parmigian until they're about to use it, because they say the cheese doesn't freeze that well.

I've also heard of someone who adds some lemon juice so that it won't turn so dark in the freezer.

I've never made it, so i don't know if ti works.

Thanks for the video.

[notodrugs]

looks great! thanks rita!

[harryrarmer]

Hey cheers Rita. Had never realised you could freeze pesto.

[Blacksun1942]

[RecipeCook]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
