I appreciate y’all’s patience last week when I had to skip the episode - in full transparency, I was struggling with my mental health. I talked with my therapist, got some exercise, laid off the unhealthy stuff, meditated, and gave my fingernails a fresh coat of paint - before I knew it, I was picking basil and mashing pine nuts again. That was my fix, and it won’t work for everyone - but if you’re struggling, please seek out the help you need, and try to show yourself a little compassion. You deserve it.
Hi John, an Italian here, the recipe it's legit and the second part is when you toast the pine nuts it's even better. try to make it, it takes time and some effort but it's worth it :)
Italian here, a little note for people watching this and trying to make the pesto: if you use a food processor, the warmth from the engine partially cooks the basil leaves during the process, and this causes the pesto to become bitter during the actual cooking time. This is one of the reasons to use the mortar, but you can also be careful and use pulses on your processr.
One of these days, Babish is gonna break down and actually harvest his own wheat to make flour to make bread to make a sandwich from a sitcom that has peanut butter and anchovies in it. It will crush him, because all of that work was wasted, then he will improve upon it, and I will develop another level of respect for him. I am the Oracle, once it is spoken, it must come true.
I love how Babish is basically just gathering all the BA people who left the company and is giving them shows of their own. Honestly at this point that that if Claire and Carla hadn't started their own things they'd be here too.
my daughters fell in love with Luca and I, step by step, unfolded your recipe for the paste, both daughters were looking at the film and the next day seeing it on the plate, they went crazy with delight. Thank you that I can raise my daughters with a passion for the kitchen ... they are 4 and 8 years old but the older one knows how to prepare pork chops like a professional from the age of 4
Hey dude! I'm ligurian and I can say you did a perfect pesto !! Thanks for this video. Only one tiny little error on the final: more pesto in the pasta! The pasta must be green. Ciao Babish
"Not to mix, or scrape, but rather to pound. This is both going to produce a smoother, more creamy result, and it's an easier, shall we say, more *familiar motion* ." BRUH
A plot point in the movie is that the race is sponsored by a pasta company, and one of the stations involves eating pasta from said company and the characters train their pasta-eating skills during the movie. So using premade pasta is actually movie accurate.
Regardless of it being movie-accurate or not, what happens is that since pesto is an oily, fatty sauce, there is no sense in adding eggy, more flavorful pasta
@@joselozano4591 yup. He’s made fresh pasta a number of times now. This was more of a deep dive into pesto as an ingredient. Besides he talks about the types of pasta for pesto in this video anyway
He had a bad mental health week. He mentions it even in the comments! Most likely that kinda took him out of his usual babishness. But he back and he's ready to attack :D
@@Destructor111 probably but like at the same time he's probably working with them on a "hey you wanna do a thing?" basis instead of like with a full employment contract or whatever.

@@SirBlackReeds I honestly would be 100% supportive of that. Honestly I've always liked babish content better than a lot of the other culinary content out there, especially around the time BWB actually got started in like 2016-2017.
My family is from Liguria and Pesto is pretty much sacred to me. I must say, your execution makes me proud, you nail every step of the process and the recipe is *chef kiss* just right. The only thing i would do differently? I usually make more pesto in proportion to the amount of pasta, but that's up to taste.
My little brother did an Instagram story of himself scarfing down trenette al pesto with his hands while watching Luca, so I naturally downloaded the story so it would not be lost to the sands of time & can instead be used to blackmail him for the rest of his life.
Babish: "And this time, we are not measuring anything. We're gonna do things the Italian way, by using the force." Me, an Italian: *nods* "Yes, seems accurate."
I started painting my nails recently to help with my anxiety & adhd. You literally cannot do anything while painting your nails, which forced me to just sit and relax for while (also it got me to stop biting my nails). So I love that it was part of your mental health self care journey!
Point of contention: It's actually well worth learning about regional flavour differences in olive oil for all kinds of recipes. Andrew actually picks up on a flavour difference at the end. Andelusion oil will likely have a taste and aroma much grassy-er than that from, say, Calabria. Certainly many other factors will have a bigger impact, but small details make a difference.
@@zebrom7994 It all depends on what you are doing with it. A lighter olive oil (tuscan, ligurian, or the one from Riva del Garda) will not overpower other delicate ingredients (like the basil in pesto), while a richer oil (sicilian, calabrian) will be great on richer stuff, like mozzarella or tomatoes. This goes for non-cooked/heated dishes. If you plan on cooking it then either go for the richer oil which will still maintain some of its flavour or use a less expensive (but still extravirgin if you can) olive oil, no need to use the fancy ones since you will not be able to tell the difference.
Ligurian olive oil, especially from the Oliva Taggiasca (that you can easily find at Eataly) is the most delicate in Italy, a subtle taste is essential not to cover the flavour of other components!
@@zebrom7994 In addition to the interesting statements of the commentators before me, I will write briefly about Puglia, the region where I live. Here you will find one of the best oils in the world. It is obtained from the olives of the "coratina" cultivar and is an oil absolutely not excessively bitter, but very spicy and rich in polyphenols; we locals self-produce it and sell the surpluses especially in the north and abroad, in both places this oil is mixed with other qualities and sold at a price. Obviously there is not only the Coratina variety, there is the leccino, which is also found in Tuscany, and more. I consider the best oil ever the one used by professional athletes, truly hypernutrient but also not very tasty, as it is very bitter, let's say that it has a very niche market.
@@TeemoFatHamster it's not about accuracy or correctness, it's that many anglophones try to make a stereotipical italian accent that, for the most part, does not exist.
you have to be the second most wholesome person right next to bob ross babish, hope you're feeling better man, you have a heart as big as your cooking skills.
Quite exquisitely vibrant if I do say so myself. Mesmerizing color scheme of the outer exterior, excluding the sharp anatomy of the human nail in it's outstanding entirety, indeed.

The pasta eating training sequence was the roughest for me- just reminded me how much I want to go to Italy someday and eat some real-deal Italian pasta dishes.
Much love, Andrew. Glad you're feeling better mentally and are back to bringing us this wonderful content we've grown to love, always feel like I can relax when I watch your videos and it really brought me closer to the art of cooking! :)
My first thought was scurvy but it seems basil is high in among other micronutrients vitamin c. And the limited heat exposure in a recipe like this would leave it intact.
I know you don't usually do stuff from video games but, the strawberry pie from Celeste? There's different versions of it depending on how many strawberries you collect, and I think it'd be neat to see you make better and better pies!
I don’t know why, but this episode has the same vibes as the old ones, which I appreciate. This channel helped get me through a difficult time in my life and I will forever be grateful, thank you babish.
Hey Andrew, I just wanted to say that I’m really glad to see that you’ve reached out to work with the under appreciated people from BA. Having a place to support these awesome cooks that I’ve grown to love is really awesome.
A little suggestion for when you're growing your own basil. Instead of pulling off individual leaves, clip the whole stem where you need (usually 2 to 3 joints down, depending how tall it is). This will allow the basil to branch out and produce more. Also, I suggest not letting the basil start to produce buds. Once it starts to flower, it starts to get bitter and takes on a flavor more like mint. Those plants do look mighty fine though!
I'm late, but yes, absolutely! Also, it's so cool to see you here! I just started crochet, and my friend recommended your beginner video to me. It's all so clearly explained and shown! Thank you! c:
So glad you're on the mend. And thanks for making me feel better about my nails being purple. It's always been part of my fixes too. And I just like it.

If you haven't seen it, there's videos with Sohla and Rick on Food52! They have their own shows there.
Rick is my spirit animal
I made pesto literally right after watching Luca
seriously the finest meal ever
Made this pesto tonight for my family and it was a hit! So easy to make and if you use quality ingredients it feels like a treat. It’s now a staple!
"because I like the way it looks" is the perfect answer
Agree, the color is awesome, but what was that sea monster bit about?
@@VIPMaJoR89 the movie this recepie is based (Lucca) on is about sea monsters
@@VIPMaJoR89 Luca, the film this is inspired by, is pixars recent sea monster film, where they shapeshift when wet :)
@@j3ddesign247 I thought it was in reference to evolution, Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA)
I didn't think Andrew could get any more powerful, but then he painted his nails.
I thought I was the only one who notices it 😂😂
they’re beautiful!
@@keishanajma8247 He literally mentioned it IN the video..m
I know he’s just a king
@XORRE if it was the year 2000BC? a lot, proves you're in a very high station in life. In the 21st century? it proves you live somewhere near a store and have at least $6.
lets all agree that even on another language he sound so soothing yet crispy
man is charming
@@DyslexicMitochondria hey bro i watch ur videos. love ur channeI
The voice that can smooth talk people
@@DyslexicMitochondria he sure does, imagine he will wake the wife up every morning saying breakfast is ready 😎
I'm Italian and was impressed by the pronunciation.
Hi! I'm from Liguria and this was absolutely perfect thank you so much for honoring our cuisine
Excited for Rick! The show looks really colourful and fun
This film made me crave pasta so bad i had to tell my stomach "Silenzio Bruno"
The pasta eating training sequence was the roughest for me- just reminded me how much I want to go to Italy someday and eat some real-deal Italian pasta dishes.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😉
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sad how Alberto trained so much for the pasta eating contest and he didn't even participate in it
Much love, Andrew.
Glad you're feeling better mentally and are back to bringing us this wonderful content we've grown to love, always feel like I can relax when I watch your videos and it really brought me closer to the art of cooking! :)
as an italian, I really love your series and hope you bring even more italian recipes
Noted: Italians can survive with only flour, oil, and leaves
Edit:
You thought it was a cringey edit thanking for the likes, but it is I, DIO!
I... This is kinda true? I can't even... Gosh 😂
Don't forget tomatoes
My first thought was scurvy but it seems basil is high in among other micronutrients vitamin c. And the limited heat exposure in a recipe like this would leave it intact.
@@gensischronicles1148 tomatoes are american. italians survived without them for centuries
“Taking Care of Your Pet Italian 101”
Babish is slowly collecting everyone from the BA Test Kitchen and I am here for it
Petition to make Babish the Italian voice of google assistance, that voice was perfect
Grammer was wrong though...
You know a guy is down bad when he starts painting his nails. Yikes.
It really wasn't, nonetheless I take my hat off for trying his best to deliver, it is a difficult language to speak
@@juventuszebras i'm italian and he didn't do that bad
I know you don't usually do stuff from video games but, the strawberry pie from Celeste? There's different versions of it depending on how many strawberries you collect, and I think it'd be neat to see you make better and better pies!
He's done stuff from video games before, so there's a chance.
trans women will never be real women
I don’t know why, but this episode has the same vibes as the old ones, which I appreciate. This channel helped get me through a difficult time in my life and I will forever be grateful, thank you babish.
This dish (and your freshly painted nails) are looking exceptionally fresh, glad to hear you're filling your own cup first. So important 💚
Im still traumatized by spagballs and meatgetti.
Same
I can't get it out of my head. I am haunted
That episode was well done - all of them are - but was almost physically painful to watch.
As soon as me and my uncle saw this movie, he said "we made noodles before, lets make pasta, i'll buy the ingredients"
Hey Andrew, I just wanted to say that I’m really glad to see that you’ve reached out to work with the under appreciated people from BA. Having a place to support these awesome cooks that I’ve grown to love is really awesome.
I like it that when Babish say's Authentic, he means AUTHENTIC.
This guy needs to find stardew valley, and make some of its recipes.
Carp Surprise? 😃
@@sparkling-starling A little oily.
YESSSSS I've been waiting for this :')
Queen of Sauce on TikTok has been doing a series of creating all of the recipes from Stardew Valley if you’re looking for recreations !
i would love to see that
It makes me unnecessarily happy knowing that he paints his nails :)))
Pasta thickness changes slightly,
Italians: Mamma mia that's a whole different dish now!!
A little suggestion for when you're growing your own basil. Instead of pulling off individual leaves, clip the whole stem where you need (usually 2 to 3 joints down, depending how tall it is). This will allow the basil to branch out and produce more. Also, I suggest not letting the basil start to produce buds. Once it starts to flower, it starts to get bitter and takes on a flavor more like mint. Those plants do look mighty fine though!
Have we really not gotten chorizo and eggs from Midnight Run?
My two favorite youtubers in the same place! Love both of yall :)
HE CHOKED
ON A CHORIZO
Funny, i asked for that a couple of months ago.
Or lyonnaise potatoes
I'm late, but yes, absolutely! Also, it's so cool to see you here! I just started crochet, and my friend recommended your beginner video to me. It's all so clearly explained and shown! Thank you! c:
So glad you're on the mend. And thanks for making me feel better about my nails being purple. It's always been part of my fixes too. And I just like it.
You should do a ratatouille special, where you make *every single dish* from the movie
even the science defieing soup
Sweetbread a la Gusteau, in which the only named ingredients are veal sweetbreads, seaweed salt, cuttlefish tentacle, dog rose puree, geoduck egg, dried white fungus, and anchovy-licorice sauce, along with remy’s addition of white truffle oil
@@TheGrowthMindset59559 I always wondered how that soup worked. In what way is it science defieing?
@@leviticus2001 the first soup is so bad it made remy gag, which isnt possible
@@TheGrowthMindset59559 What about the second soup?
Honestly I feel like movies have started including over the top food scenes more and more specifically because they want a shoutout on this channel
The mandalorian literally did so Id say it's certainly possible, Babish reaches a large audience
Love how the BCU is slowly but surely just absorbing the former BA Culinary Universe. First Sohla now Rick this is great.
Wokeness infiltrates everything like a virus.
@@dorefish-bieler7330 Bro shut up
"Easier more familiar motion"
Not for all of us, buddy 😂😂
my htought exactly x)
This episode had everything I love: potatoes, pasta, basil, nail polish and a Jess cameo. 😍
Can't wait for Ricks show, production quality looks insane.
Are we getting any more Sola soon though 🥺
Just bring in all the old BA staff that everyone loved and give them fair treatment
I read this comment about 30 seconds before the reveal. So excited! I love Rick! I'm always looking for his content.
I love Sola! I hope she comes back to BBU after her other ancient cooking show!
She has like 4 other shows right now so maybe when one of those wraps?
@@Iduun9 Hopefully that's the plan! I made a similar comment last year on the BA subreddit when it all hit the fan.
As an Italian, I am so happy watching this. Also your Italian is spot on
Well, I mean not exactly he said benvenuto instead of benvenuti but the rest except the pronunciation was fine
But still, never trust google translate 😂
That fingernail sea monster comment is very subtle and brilliant!
Everyone:*looking at cooking*
Me:*looking at that Blue nails*
Same they looks so beautiful
Babish says the reason he painted his nails, but it's a lie, he clearly had a sleepover with Rick Martinez.
The only thing that I could see in that scene was him cutting the ends off of the garlic and then eating them. I don't know how I feel about that.
whats the reason
@@connoroliveras2791 i just said
Or he's trooning out. I hope that turns out to be wrong.

I'm so hyped for Rick's show!!!! I'm glad he's here, I loved his stuff on BA and I can't wait to see what he does next
He's been doing a great show for Food52 as well, check it out on their UA-cam channel.
A yummy idea to make is Val-jalepeno Poppers, Asgard Burger, and Nachos (Thor style) mentioned in episode 6 of M.O.D.O.K. TV series
I’m surprised they aren’t called “valepeño poppers”
No
@@Fartucus
You must be bored
Hearing that he has a little sea monster in him makes me very happy ✨
Hahah same
Saaame, subtle but clear to those who knows :D
@@xdperrinette huh
I was literally LOOKING for this comment ❤️
He's finally done it
He's making his ingredients from scratch, too
