      Ma sei una criminale, che schifo hai fatto? Se vuoi fare il pesto studia prima, informati! I pinoli non si tostano, il pepe non ci va’ e il limone manco da morta si mette. Vediamo se sei coraggiosa a rispondere

    Laura, tonight I made pesto with your recipe. I had to use about half Thai basil and have sweet Italian basil because I live in Hawaii and it's hard to grow Italian basil here. Let me tell you my pesto came out wonderfully! It is so good! I made a little Alfredo sauce and mixed in the pesto. WOW! Thanks so much for your pesto recipe, my family loved it!

  • @lydo-kisner552
    @lydo-kisner552 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Laura, I made this pesto a few days ago from home grown basil and even with parmigiana cheese (I finally had to go look for some since you talk about your favorite cheese in most of your cooking videos ;). It was delicious! I had it on plain toasts... even tried your baked pesto chicken recipe... both were wonderful! I'm going to try grilling shrimp marinated with pesto next. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait til the basil grow so I can make more.

  • @sarmenb
    @sarmenb 9 ปีที่แล้ว +41

    • @tndcosta2009
      @tndcosta2009 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      how much does it cost in ingredients to make it at home?

    • @Roheline9
      @Roheline9 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Daniel Costa , it could cost a lot because of how much basil you would need to make a decent amount. Growing basil isn’t terribly difficult though, and neither is growing lemons. Parm and good olive oil are expensive, and pine nuts can be somewhat pricey.
      They sell it in big big jugs at Costco with no pine nuts, and it’s honestly delicious. That’s an inexpensive way to always have tons of pesto-and you can freeze it.

    • @p_roduct9211
      @p_roduct9211 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This is my first comment honestly, I feel a bit nervous (as English isn't my first language).
    I just made pesto today using your recipe, put it in pasta, it's very delicious, thank you so much Laura!!!
    I can't find any pine nuts at nearby supermarket, so I just use almond instead, next time I'll try different kinds of nuts.
    And I just substitute lemon with lime instead as I already have it on hand, so I just use its peel and juice.
    (Quite a bit rebellious, I think :D)
    I'm Thai, and I don't fond of foreign food that much, but I like this very much, maybe because I'm a basil-lover.
    Anyway, thank you again, you are amazing!

    • @TheSnakeh

    • @ayamaliki1004
      @ayamaliki1004 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +TheSnakeh you can use cashews or walnuts

    • @starrychloe
      @starrychloe 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +Wiyaphat Wongsaeng Pine nuts are the most expensive nuts, more than macadamias. They are like $20/lb. Try a specialty store, Italian store, or Whole Foods.

    • @Angel-nu7fm
      @Angel-nu7fm 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +Wiyaphat Wongsaeng I've used walnuts, less expensive, good taste. Also you can get pine nuts a lot less expensively at Trader Joe's vs Whole Paycheck(my nickname for Whole Foods).

    • @DinkyDoughnut
      @DinkyDoughnut 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video. Searching the definition of pesto what she is making here has it all in there. She added some lemon and salt and pepper to taste. I am sure there are variations from different regions of Italy but she has the basics in there and I think I would like the lemons added to the mix. Thanks again Laura your video's are great. :)

    • @ElizaDolittle
      @ElizaDolittle 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      There are different versions - my region (Puglia) doesn't typically put garlic. The argument some Italian people (from Genova) are making here is that Laura said that hers is a classic Genovese recipe and it totally isn't. I actually don't know if there is any region in Italy that puts lemon and pepper in their pesto - I never heard of it and in my region they don't, just like they clearly don't in Genova.

  • @therrain
    @therrain 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes, they are also very expensive and difficult to find in my country. She showed the classic pesto recipe, but I've succesfully made it with almonds with or without pistachios, also using a hint of nuts, cashew and pecans. It's not the same flavour, but you can experiment. I have my own "distorted" recipe to a very naughty pesto, that magically gets devoured everywhere I bring it. Just add the cheese at the end.

  • @marcelovitoi6414
