  • This week, we're taking a crack at a Ligurian classic, beautifully portrayed in Pixar's Luca: toothsome pasta tossed in a bright, fresh basil pesto, dotted with creamy potatoes and crisp green beans. How could I possibly screw this one up? Let's find out in the comments!

    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.

    @gnolo Před 2 lety +6608

    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.

      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.

    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.

    • @BaulSDA

      @@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.

      @@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.
