  1. That's how my family makes pesto!
    Just adding a liiiiittle bit of stock aswell before blending
    Also if you put not only parmesan but also roasted Pinenuts on the finished pesto it's even more amazing!

  2. … You're meant to make pesto with Mortar and Pestle and not a kitchen machine… So if you truly want it to be pesto and not just the ingredients blended together… that's how to do it. (It does require a bit more work on your side 😊, but it is definitely worth it… ).

  3. The pack of pine nuts alone costs wayyyyy more than a jar of pesto. Just buy it and your “10” min meal ( def longer) turns to 2 mins instead.

  4. Yeah home made is better cause you don't have stale oil. However i would have added a splash of heavy cream with only a little pasta water🎉

  5. You should never cook pesto. It destroys the flavor. In the case of pasta, cut the heat, make your pesto, keep some pasta water and mix with it on the stove, but heat off

  6. Pine nuts are too expensive for this to be reasonable, and anything you make with a blender is not girl dinner.

    Homemade pesto is tasty but the amount of pine nuts you would need just make it unfeasibly expensive for anything more than a rare occasion.

  7. you know why its called pesto? because you make it in mortal and pestle. this technique makes the pesto taste 100x more flavorful, the consistency is way better, and its the right way to make it

  8. Pesto is not blended, you need to crush it. Pesto is not the name of the sauce but the way it’s made.

  9. No lemon, no pepper, no salt, Pune nuts should not be toasted…the garling has to be added at last and cut in half you don't eat it, you let it sit in there to give flavour, in fact it's better to make pesto the day before

  10. My SIL realized there are some foods we never eat because, being the only females in our families, only we enjoy. Like pasta with basil pesto, or pasta puttenesca. We decided to one day make dinner for us two and the men can eat instant noodles.

  11. pine nuts are kind of expensive where i am, so i tried baby spinach (couldn't find basil worth buying) and walnuts. add the garlic, parm, oil, seasonings and it really can do the trick.
