- How to make pesto without nuts from fresh basil
In this recipe I don’t use nuts or specific measurements, I rarely do, I find doing everything to taste, how it looks and how it smells always works out best. 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 - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Spot on about pine nuts being expensive, this is a great recipe thank you!
Amazing video, Im a 6th grader and I make pesto pasta for my lunch and my best friends it allergic to nuts. Very helpful
Amelya Cook Aww , I'm sure your friend is very lucky to have you because you know that she is allergic to nuts so you make sure not to contain nuts in your pesto pasta. I wish one of my friend was like you, she knows that I'm allergic to nuts but she doesn't care and have given me food which contains nuts many time and even when ordering food at a restaurant she orders food but doesn't check to see if it contains nuts or not but my two best friends from primary school are so lovely and know to not have food which contains nuts when I'm around and they make nut free food for me and them to eat.
@@MGMG0 Sounds like she's not really "friend" material!
So glad to hear about avoiding pine nuts!And thanks for the pesto video!!!
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!
I find that using less basil leaves make the pesto taste better. I also add lemon juice, lots of garlic (personal pref.), olive oil and Kosher salt.
OMG... Look at that beautiful Basil!!!!!
Thank you for the information, look forward to making it.
Made this and it was delicious! Thanks
Get one of the plant led lights and you can have it all year round, plants grow nicely with it.
Im allergic to nuts but when i make my own homemade pesto, i use pumpkin seeds :)
That's a great idea - when our pumpkins are harvested later this year I might try that. Thank you!
Same I'm allergic to nuts, do you have a pesto recipe which you can give to me please
We use sunflower seeds
Thanks chef
Bro took fresh basil to the next level by bringing the entire plant 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Other than freezing it, how long will it store, such as in the fridge?
Thank you.
Andrew, I enjoyed your video. did you leave the basil plant to regrow as it is?
Regarding salt... I use kosher or sea most of the time . Wondering if those are better than I'm assuming your using regular iodized salt
Ohhhh, you did NOT use yucky jarred garlic did you ?
:(
I had a sample at a farmers market that was made with pumpkinseed and you couldn't tell the difference.
Wow, that's a lot of oil!

How does it so big ? You don’t use it at all ? We Persian eat herbs with flat bread and feta cheese cucumber tomatoes with our meal or snacks 🤷🏼♀️
I use almonds n linseed
I can smell it
I have used pistachios or walnuts!!!
That garlic has no bite. I like fresh.
Pesto soup?
Ricky Sutphin yes, even my soup it thicker than this pesto
Al9ha I have Basel everywhere I did not want to get the Pines Nuts ty The Lord loves you all hugs from Hawaii Oahu originally Utah
Pine nuts do add a lot of flavor to pesto .
Use a Mortar ans Pestle
cam on ban da chia se
gran padano-NOT parmigiano
Grating like that takes too long! Use a potato peeler much faster!
Man you just completely botched an opportunity to make some amazing pesto! Too much oil, and WAY too much salt....I screamed at the screen!
Waayyyyy too much salt. He did say go according to tast. I automatically know I’m not using that much salt
I am in love with you.
I PINOLI NON optional.... Necessary
Only olive oil
Minus garlic
Sufficit 1 spicchio o zero
This is nuts!! Without nuts
I find the best way to wash fruits and veggies is to put it in a large pot with water. Put it in the strainer then rinse. You will see all the dirt at the bottom of the pot. Especially spinach, collard greens and kale. Thanks for sharing.
Dont forget lime
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.
I hate sheep cheese too. Blech
Use nutritional yeast instead of cheese. Makes it healthier and keeps longer ;)
Just painful to watch you grate that cheese. Could you not find a bigger grater?
Talk less. It's video bud!
