    YUM! This is one of my favorite ways to use pesto. I grow lots of basil in the summer, and I make pesto to last me throughout the year. Vacuum sealed in the freezer that stuff will last indefinitely, so you can make it well in advance & just whip out a bag when you need it.
    Toasting the nuts isn't necessary, but it does add a nice layer of flavor. Pine nuts aren't cheap, and many people opt for walnuts instead, but I'm not a big fan of walnut flavor. I've found that Brazil nuts come pretty close to pine nuts for something like this at 1/4 the cost of pine nuts. I think they actually taste better. I crush or rough chop them, then toast them in a pan before assembling my pesto.

    • @stefanmarchione6757
      @stefanmarchione6757 Před rokem

    I never thought I'd like Pesto until I tried it on a Panini and it was 😋 🥰.
    I already know this is gonna be true.

    • @stefanmarchione6757
      @stefanmarchione6757 Před rokem +3

      Hi Natalie...from an "Italian" point of view...Pesto is one of those things that are BEST made fresh from scratch, using only the freshest ingredients. The jarred sauces taste too artificially strong and have an almost sour aroma.
      This recipe is perfect here. Also, add a few drops of lemon juice to keep the vibrant color, and preserve tight in a mason jar. Enjoy!
