How to make pesto without nuts from fresh basil.

But I know that a lot of you like specific measurements and so I’ve provided some general guidelines below.. Ingredients: Basil. Olive Oil. Cheese (I prefer Parmigiano Reggiano but Peccorino Romano is also often used.. Garlic. Salt. OPTIONAL Pine Nuts (some people even use cashews or almonds, but do whatever you want). My approximate portions as seen in video: 12 cups of basil. 2 cups of olive oil. 1 cup of Parmigiano Reggiano (the best cheese!). 2 teaspoons of salt. 3 teaspoons of diced garlic. Traditional Portions. 3 cups of basil. 1 cup of olive oil. 1 clove of garlic. ½ cup pecorino cheese. ¼ cup pine nuts. salt to taste. Wash the basil leaves and spin or pat them dry, the only liquid you really want is the oil. Puree the basil leaves with olive oil to make a nice thick syrupy paste.. Add Garlic. Add Salt to taste. Add Cheese

Thanks Gobs, Rob! Precisely what I was searching for. Pine nuts are exorbitant right now and I wanted to use something more readily available and not so pricey. You het the nail on the head with the walnuts. And thanks to your lovely daughter too!
weird that people actually watch this and say you suck. well just ignore those people and keep up the good work Mr Rob Berret, I will definitely try this.
Your recipe is practical. I don’t have pine nuts (as most recipe do) but have walnuts. Plus you said we can use blender (my processor isn’t working). Thank you
I love pesto sauce! I have heard it nick-named “Italian peanut butter”. I always grow lots of basil each summer, just to make sure there is no shortage of pesto. I have been using almonds and walnuts instead of super pricey pine nuts with good results. Pesto goes with pasta, but it is also great on pizza and omelets. Or, split a baguette, spread it with pesto, and add roasted red peppers, smoked ham, and provolone or mozzarella cheese. Real yummy.
Take this down. My name is something I’m not going to post on the internet, and this pesto is the motherfuckin truth. Quote me on that, and don’t take nothing out. I know it could be good, but I didn’t know it could be as good as this. This pesto is the truth.
In Russia Pine Nuts and Pine Nut oil is used to cure peptic ulcers. Pine nuts are expensive because the pine cones are harvested wild. They must be picked when the pine cone is ripe but before the pine cone opens and falls on the ground.
Hi! I don’t know how I missed this. Fantastic recipe and I’m so glad your did all three. I’ll choose between the pine nut and the pecan. I love how you can freeze them! Great handy things to have around.
Has Pesto sauce traditionally always been made with nuts? Can’t wait to try it!
it’s a pretty accurate recipe, you could really impress someone from italy with this. how much does 4 portions of this cost in usa? just to know. thanks
oh my goodness you did use yukky jarred garlic. what a shame to ruin freshness and quality ingredients. Sorry to be negative otherwise nice basic recipe.
Fun to watch. Good job! We love basil so much, I grow a 20 foot row of sweet basil every summer in our garden and make pesto to freeze for winter. I do not add the cheese or nuts when I process it. I don’t like the way nuts and cheese freeze, so I add it later. You should get a food processor, I found a blender over processes the basil, bruising it more than the pulse feature of a food processor. Anyway, Thanks for making this video:-) Take care!
If you DONT STOP TALKING LIKE THIS…THEN IM GONNA KILL YOU…IT REALLY DOES NOT MATTER…WHO YOU’RE WITH…OR WHO YOU HAVE WITH U….
