How to Make Pesto Sauce

[BobtheUserName]

I'm not sure if she was trying to sell her self or show us how to make pesto?

[simple2all]

after she taste with a wooden spoon, she puts it back to the processor. a little unfreindly........sorry

[siri903]

This recipe looks so delicious! Also, I never knew there were different varieties of basil? Great tips and nicely done video.

Why is it that there's always a nasty few comments offering advice, mocking the cook, their style and whether or not they know the difference between? Get a life folks you sound bored, bitter & hellbent on critiquing when you haven't been asked to?! Geesh, don't likes make your own video.

[swistedfilms]

Thank you for the recipe and instructions. Production tip: consider shortening the introduction, using a light in the kitchen so that the video is easier to see, and turn down the volume to the background music. Also, make sure to always get some cut-away shots so that you can "compress" dialogue and action. Failing that, don't be afraid to use a transition like a fade to cut out boring actions like churning a food processor.

[rbreynolds]

Do you know the difference between a clove and a bulb?

[mrcegodepenas]

I love the part, when she is tasting the Pesto,and put the dam thing right back in to the rest again does that Saliva is part of the Recipe?

[vmoets5]

Hi gardengirl! That looks great! I also cook check out my videos...Thanks

[BLACKSYNTH]

Looks good! :-)

2 things,

Pronounced Ba - zil, not baizel :-)

always use a Mortar & Pestle not a blender.

[zhanweii]

aww yeahhh that looks awesome

what can i replace the pine nuts with? im alergic to nuts

[DDRmaedchen]

hi, I appreciate your initiative, but pepper in pesto is definitively a no-no. talking about the pestle vs. blender issue: everyone nowadays does pesto with blenders as it's way easier and faster than pestling up all the ingredients, and it's still a great taste, but with the original way is even better.

another tip: don't use parmesan, which is too dry and requires salting. use instead pecorino sardo (sheep cheese from Sardinia), as it's so tasty you don't need to add salt later. :)

[carletto1981a]

''i meant the pasta''not the pan

[carletto1981a]

This is a message for Garden City.

First : You need to use a ''mortaio''Pestolamorta.

Second:You need to toast the pinenuts.

Tird:You should really use romano,not parmigiano.

Forth:if you put romano you wont even need to use salt.

Fifh and Last: If you put the pesto in a frying pan for couple of minute low heat and you jump the pasta in the pan will be even testier.

E Buon Appetito!

[TheSailorGeek]

Processing the garlic and nuts first is a great idea. My pesto turned out creamier than it ever has by doing it that way. Thanks for the tip!

[lovosazul]

Wow, top stuff!, Love your great green vegie garden! Awesome!

Thanks heaps=D

Almeno ti vergogni della tua ignoranza!!! Suca.

[freddydish]

why do you suck on the spoon you supose to put some in your hand and taste what you did look nasty the rest is ok.

[cavalier171]

good sauce and sweet

[loopstheloop]

Nice work. 9/10 for using Genoese basil and tonnes of garlic. Minus half a mark for the food processor instead of a pestle and mortar, and for using Parmesan cheese- it needs to be pecorino. But you're a serious culinary Latin lady! Will subscribe!

[loopstheloop]

@veryartist Yes, it DOES have to be pecorino. And I am from Genoa.

[loopstheloop]

@veryartist oh dear... I am very, VERY embarrassed for you.

Look up a dictionary or an encyclopaedia. It's Genoa. How sad you are. Trying to be clever and making a fool of yourself.

[loopstheloop]

Ah ha ha ha.... che stupida!!!! Anzitutto, parlavamo in INGLESE, troia, ed in inglese la città si chiama Genoa (dal latino, il v è aggiunto in italiano, mignotta). Sei un piede? No, 'FOOL', non foot. Ma ti manca in assoluto un'educazione! Va' a cagar, bagascia. Sei sciocchissima.

[veryartist]

@loopstheloop wow. ho letto foot invece di fool, e te mi chiami troia? Mio dio, e' proprio vero che da dietro ad un computer la gente non ha vergogna. spero ti caschi un pianoforte in testa. perche' io sono una signora, e gli insulti sono solo per chi se li merita.

[loopstheloop]

Insisti??? Un'ignorante, sei. Hai sbagliato tutto, e poi tutto questo mentre provavi di fare la furba. (Ti dico di dove son, e rispondi "It's Genova, not Genoa"). Ma sei un buffone. Vada a farsi inculare, gentilissima signora.

[loopstheloop]

p.s. quindi hai sbagliato sulla ricetta, sulla città, sulle lingue....

SUCA!!! Muhahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaa Dai sucalo bene!

[loopstheloop]

@veryartist I am afraid it DOES have to be pecorino. And I am from Genoa.

[9aspengold5]

I use walnuts when I don't have pine nuts. Tastes just the same.

[IvanZena]

Guardate questa Videoricetta del PESTO ORIGINALE Genovese !!

[Heidibear76]

Sweet! Thanx ...

[bruceleeC64]

babe

[IIKa0TiK47II]

Some cinnamon basil would be a nice surprise

[1019drummer]

I put asiago cheese in mine,this looks real great thanks for sharing

[Ezekiel3839Psalms83]

Yes asiago cheese would be an excellent choice for pesto!

[ARZELLO]

@Ezekiel3839Psalms83 no is not....absolutely not

[19dec1981]

did somebody heared about the pestle and mortar?? if you wanna make real pesto use that not a blender.

i've seen tons of vids and they all use blenders...

[gvgirls]

its mortar and pestle.

[RockerDuk]

It gives the exact same result. why risk getting a tennis arm. :/

[19dec1981]

because the heat those devices create will cause some ingredients to oxidize more quickly and change their color. plus a blender will make everything be the same consintecy which its not always the best thing

[faderklas]

looked great

[ToneJermain]

I like how she has a glass of beer on hand...lol

[sorakairi1993]

beautiful sauce =w= i wanna try and make it!

[wazzup105]

Why not garnish it with basil... there's mainly basil in it after all. (I'd even use the lemon basil for extra fragrance)

[bogard84]

hella double dippin! tho it is HER dish that she made for herself and not for a 5 star restaurant or a health inspector ;]. lol.

[shinesmile77]

Great vid Patti...your skin is gorgeous...all the good food paid off eh?...great recipe too x

[SNSV51]

Hi Basil is also known as Ocimum basilicum, and has certain therapeutic properties and the reported benefits of using it internally, in the form of a herbal tea (infusion) for lowering blood pressure,antispasmodic , lowering stress levels ,lowering cholesterol ,general detoxifier. i grow a lot of Basil. and use it a lot in cookin. thank you for sharing. ;-)

[Kamisha100]

Pesto is also great on Pannini's I like it on a Turkey and avacado sandwhich.

[izacrazybitch4real]

patti you gotta try it with mint on lamb....HEAVEN

[steelhorses2004]

Awesome idea to blend different basil types. I know pine nuts is a traditional ingredient but they are so expensive. I've left them out and the pesto still comes out great. Save some money and skip the pine nuts. A little lemon juice gives it a slight tangy bite and helps keep the rich green color fresh. Patty rocks!

[CulturePeaceForever]

Yeahhhh,I was wanting a homemade recipe for Pesto Sauce.thank you!!!!!!!! :)

[LoraFromOregon]

I like how you make it look so easy and your enthusiasm for telling us it is ok to experiment and make it our own. I like pesto chicken sandwiches but have never made my own pesto.  I love what you do!

[TheSailorGeek]

This looks amazing! I never heard using different types of basils and herbs to make pesto. I can't wait to try it. Thank you!

[healthierhome]

Awesome vid! Thanks Patti

[Blaynexox]

Yum I love pesto! I will definitely have to try it with the lemon basil !

[MooseHollowFarm]

Patti as always, you are a delight! I've been making Pesto for years, but now I'll have to plant some Lemon Basil. I wish I knew you when I still lived in Boston.

[Praxxus55712]

Pesto is such a fresh, happy smell and taste. You make a beautiful classic pesto. Excellent job Patti! :)

[baseball33122]

that was inappropriate...but funny as hell haha

[theproducegarden]

you can make a great pesto with rocket and walnuts!

[Thood618]

looks fab!!!! is the food network contacting you? Someone ought to!!!!

[GardenGirltv]

you're sweet.

[shashinkyo]

@GardenGirltv i didnt know that there are different kinds of basil...that would make it harder to find

[markhess]

yummm! Patti, you are making me hungry!! - Mark

[wgseagal]

hey i just got hru eating some collard greens from the garden tonight they were from last year i retransplanted them and they grew like 2ft in 2weeks already enjoying the hard work from the garden.i want some pesto and nothing like fresh parsley

[wgseagal]

these old videos because its cold up there your garden can not look like that know

[greenerhealthier]

great vid Patti, keep it up and thanks!

[healthfoodlover]

Basil is the perfect herb!

[NY5Quest]

My favorite herb is basil. Pesto is wonderful. You can even use it as a spread, for sandwiches. Wonderful on a fresh tomato sandwich. I agree, the smell of fresh basil is just wonderful! I love your video's Patti. Always informative.

[MadBadVoodo]

Five Stars!!

[ecogirltv]

You make it so easy! It looks so tasty! Do you make your own pasta?

[terrycherrybrown]

I think I'm going to try making a vinegrette with some balsamic vinegar.

[JeffreyRodriguez]

If you've never smelled fresh basil, you're missing out.

Pesto is great stuff, especially on toasted bread. I like just a little splash of vinegar for a tangier taste.

[zipnails]

That looks so good!
