Vinny, I grow tons of basil every year and make pesto with most of it (with pignoli nuts traditional Genovese style). It stays great in the freezer if you use the proper trick. That is, fill a 16 oz deli container with the pesto, then cover it with clear film and press it down to the top of the pesto eliminating any air. Then I write the date made on a post it note and put it on top of the clean film but underneath the lid. Before use, thaw in the fridge for a day. I've had pesto I found in the bottom of my freezer 2 years later that was just as fresh as the day I made it. One 16 oz container is good with 2 lbs of shells or fusilli with pecorino added with the sauce and pasta before serving. HUGE family favorite. I also use it to make pesto cream sauces that go great with gnocchi and sautéed shrimp. I love basil and pesto so much that I am convinced that Heaven smells like basil.

obozomustgo - Good point on how to freeze, and as well, if just storing in the fridge for a few days, clear film on the surface prevents the darkening of the top layer, which is just oxidization. May not be pretty, but it won't kill ya (much like my wife - sorry honey, but the joke was just laying there, much like my wife, etc). Yes, I'm ready for my beating now. What I do when I freeze it, whether in water (as just Basil) or in EVOO, when pesto, is to put it in ice cube trays, frozen, then bagged, for those times you only need a few tablespoons or so. An alternative, is to freeze it in a zip-lock bag, laid flat on a tray (so that it's fairly thin), and then just break off as much as needed.

Even when pesto is bought and then stored in the refrigerator, it is always advisable to add a layer of olive oil on top to make it keep better, otherwise it is likely to mold. This, by the way, is advisable for any kind of sauce that you then store in the refrigerator.

I have a great tip for you, if you ad half a teaspoon fresh lemon juice, you can preserve the vibrant green from the basil without changing the flavor. That being said, adding more than that amount ca actually ad a nice brightness to your pesto as long as you are careful not to overpower all the other subtle flavors. Sometimes our family likes the slight hint of lemon in it. Hope you try this and enjoy. Ciao!

I prefer the classic Genovese pesto, but this seems like a good version and I will try it. I like pistachios and Pecorino Romano cheese. I use a Salad Spinner to dry my washed basil. As a snack, I enjoy spreading pesto on toasted Italian bread. In my Genovese pesto, I use Mediterranean, especially Italian, pine nuts. I have also used southwestern United States pine nuts when they are available. I order them both online. I never, ever, use Chinese or Asian pine nuts. Remember, they go long distances to get to you and go rancid quickly. Always store all pine nuts in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container. I also never mix the cheese in the blender. I take the basic pesto mixture and pour it in a bowl and stir in the grated cheese. To avoid a dark coating on the unused pesto add a thin layer of Extra Virgin Olive Oil to the top of the pesto after you put it in a jar.

Divided into little jars, frozen all but one. I don't use garlic in my version but I eat it if it's there, unless it's really too much. Pistachio in pesto is great, I've already tried it and I really like that version too, I also find almonds are great in pesto. Never tried pecorino, I'll try next time for sure.

In late summer, basil pesto with penne and seasonal green beans (roughly equal amount of beans to pasta by cooked weight) is quite simply one of my favourite dishes ever. Cut the beans into pieces (or simply in half) to roughly match the penne, add them to the pasta 3-4 minutes from the end of the pasta's cooking time (you can briefly blanch the beans in boiling water from the kettle immediately before adding them so they don't cool the pasta water and stop the roiling boil). The starch in the pasta water helps to keep the sweetness of the beans.

Pistachios and Pecorino Romano are ingredients that I have never used before in pesto; therefore, I will have to give them and this receipt a try. Having said that, I have never used just one garlic clove in either pesto or hummus in my life, and I don't think that I will be starting now.

I used to grow my own basil, but basil doesn't have a long lifespan in a tropical and moist environment like my country (and then you have the pests because there's a handful of bugs that LOVE to eat basil leaves), so I need to buy it in the grocery shop. The one from there is suprisingly fresh and not too expensive. I was never sure to add or not add garlic though, but now I know I can add 1 clove at least, same with pistachios, since pine nuts are expensive and hard to find.

It sounds like you've adapted well to your local conditions! Using store-bought basil, garlic, and pistachios is a great alternative. You can definitely make delicious pesto with those ingredients, and it's a smart way to work with what's available and cost-effective. Enjoy your homemade pesto! 🌿🧄🌰👨🍳😄

I top the pesto jar with a thin layer of extra virgin olive oil, and the pesto will stay freshly green. The oil prevents pesto from getting oxidized.

My step daughter (has a nut allergy) So as a Chef I cater. As a substitute for nuts If you take flour and put it in a very dry non-stick pan and toast it dry ( like you're going to make a brown roux) It's a great substitute 😊 Toss the flour until it smells like popcorn. Really it only takes a few bits of the roux to accommodate the nutty flavor and I screwed myself! Have fun

The original recipe has not been changed since it was published. But there are plenty of variations. The most important thing in the preparation is that you use a mortar (traditionally made of marble with a wooden pestle) and crush the ingredients in it. And not because it's more convenient to put everything in the blender and press the button. The sauce becomes more aromatic and creamy with the mortar.

pretty sure you can hold the top of the basil stem, where the finest leaves are, lightly pinch the stem under that with your thumb and pointing finger of the other hand, and pull that other hand down the stem, and all the leaves will fall off. then you just pinch off the remaining top leaves. you can waste time pinching one at the time only if you see a yellow or brown leaf

when I learned from you how easy it is to make my own pesto I never bought pesto from a shop ever again. Thank you for that. now I am stuck with one question that's on my mind for a long time, whats the best way to store cheese? I can get a decent block of parmegiano regiano from my supermarket (it's probably not the best but hey it's not a fake pre grated parmegiano so I'll take it), but for pecorino romano I need to drive further to a special cheese shop. And last time when I bought a big block of it, it went moldy before I could use all of it. Do you have any tips to store it longer?
@vincenzosplate
Жыл бұрын
I'm glad you've been enjoying making your own pesto! 🌿🍝 To store cheese, wrap it tightly in wax paper or parchment paper, then place it in a resealable bag or airtight container. Keep it in the refrigerator, and it should last longer without molding. Enjoy your cheese! 🧀😊
