      Passion for cooking translates to love from the heart. When it becomes a chore or job, its time to leave the kitchen :)

    I wore a traditional pesto, without adding lemon, decided to try his recipe and you are right Gennaro Contaldo , it is amazing! The lemon acidity gives a touch all special. Thank you for sharing!

      ​@Conrad Murray ✔ It's just a pity that the lemon doesn't make any sense in this sauce, is not included in the correct recipe and on the contrary it spoils the flavor... 🤷‍♂️ Sorry bro.

      Ho aggiunto il succo di limone giusto per sbaglio e ora non so come faccio a coprirlo. Non so cosa mi ha preso ma me ne pento profondamente - non ci sta 😂 Però mi sa che con la pasta al tonno un tocco di limone ci può stare bene. Mo' vedemmo!

    Top tip for anyone not wanting to burn the basil: stick the blade in the freezer for an hour before doing this, and that way it won't affect the color or the taste of the pesto as the blade remains cold, despite the friction.

      😂 It would take a lot of processing to “burn” the basil. Between pulsing the food processor and all the ingredients, you’re not going to “burn” the basil. It’s pesto, not surgery.

    I used to make pesto by simply adding all ingredients at once in the food processor. Today I made it carefully following Genaro's recipe with the addition of each ingredient and boy what a difference it makes. Best pesto I've ever done 😋

    I made pesto with walnuts this summer and it was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. Especially good with gnocchi. I should have made my own from one of his recipes. I used all of the leaves on my basil plant and had to make up the volume with parsley and it was still really good. But next year I will plant multiple basil plants.
