Delicious!😊

[@blazinwolf]

Made last night to use some basil in my garden. Very easy. I sautéed the garlic instead of using raw. Buttered the noodles too. This was a super light dish.

[@Aarcodes]

Will u upload any desert recipes?

[@ChefJackOvens]

I do occasionally. They’re not popular on the channel and it hurts the channel when I post them

[@PatilRoupelian]

If I make this for future recipes, etc. How long does it last in the fridge?

[@ChefJackOvens]

Fresh pest lasts 2-3 days max in the fridge. It can be frozen too for longer storing.

[@metasamsara]

How well does it keep? I started growing basil but it's already outgrowing my use of it, I could use some pesto in storage.

[@ChefJackOvens]

Will last 3 days in the fridge and can be frozen for 5 months

[@markbaker42]

@@ChefJackOvens Thanks for reminding me Jack! I've left some I made from an old recipe in the fridge unopened for over a week. I'll put it in the freezer now! Looked for any sign of mould first. I'm pretty fussy about not leaving any bits up the walls of the jar without being submerged and I hope its ok. Smell test after defrosting.
Loving everything that you do, including this as it's a small batch that you can use within 3 days. Cheers from West Oz!!

[@claranimmer7349]

The recipe is good, but it‘s really better to use mortar and pestle.

[@davidszakacs6888]

Too much EVOO! I use just 3 tablespoons per batch.

[@ChefJackOvens]

Oil is to your liking. There’s no right or wrong

[@hafizaabdrani]

@@ChefJackOvenscan substitute to palm oil? Will it taste different? If use heated butter? Will it break down and become… to oily?

[@lindamorris4542]

Only thing I do with basil pesto is stick it in the bin.
