  • I show you how to make a classic pesto sauce as they do in the city of Genoa, Liguria Italy. With my twists on making it a brighter green and what to do if you want to store it in the fridge without discolouration of your basil. Full Recipe below.
    Pesto Genovese
    1 large bunch fresh Genovese basil, washed, spun or patted dry
    1 large clove garlic, peeled, sliced
    1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil , with fruity and grassy notes
    2 Tbsp. - 1/4 cup pistachios or pinenuts (20-40 gm )
    Sea salt to taste
    Approx. ½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano or to taste
    Using a small chopper or food processor bowl, add a swirl of olive oil, sliced garlic, salt and nuts. Layer in the basil leaves and the cheese on top. Drizzle with the olive oil. Pulse several times to blend. Mix until creamy and fully blended , about 1 minute.
    Use immediately in your favourite pasta or gnocchi recipe. If saving some for later use, pour into a glass jar and cover with a layer of olive oil to prevent browning.
    To prepare in mortar and pestle, add peeled garlic and coarse salt in mortar and pound to mash garlic into a paste. Add nuts, basil and continue to swirl, gradually add olive oil working in a slow stream while stirring with pestle. Add cheese and stir to blend.

    Ciao Christine ! Amo particolarmente il fatto che tu quando prepari qualcosa di classico italiano, fai molto attenzione alla pronuncia originale delle cose, anche, come in questo caso, della città di Genova, non solo degli ingredienti. 👍🤗 Saluti dall’Italia ! 🇮🇹👋

    Oh LOVELY! Yes pesto, heady magic! Thanks for those special tips, plus new pistachios excitement. Christine, I have to tell you a pesto story here: I grow basil and tomatoes in pots placed on my driveway where it's extra hot and sunny. So when I go in and out of the house I pass them, and love to touch them. The fuzzy tomato leaves' scent is SO vibrant tomato. And then touch the basil. The magic perfumes are so beautiful, life is good.
    And YES PLEASE ricotta gnocchi! Ricotta yay, gnocchi yay, but home cooks wanna know, aren't ricotta gnocchi gonna fall apart!? Thanks again.

    • @ChristineCushing
      @ChristineCushing  6 місяців тому +1

      What a great story.! I love the scent of tomato leaves also and touching herbs is also a ritual for me whenever I see them growing. I will make the ricotta gnocchi for my next video and all will be revealed. See you then.

    Thank you for another wonderful recipe Christine! I agree it’s tough to find good pine nuts and I’m excited to try making pesto using pistachios. Your basil looks great, could I ask where you got it from? I find grocery store basil plants often lack flavour. Thanks and love your channel!

      Garlic is always in a pesto. If you are allergic I would try either chives or green onions. I hope this helps
