TRADITIONAL ITALIAN RECIPE: Basil has become the plant for every season, so I cut a couple of bunches from the garden and decided to make pesto.
I dug out the official recipe from Consorzio Pesto Genovese and added to it Pasta, Beans and Potatoes. The traditional Ligurian Recipe is very specific about exactly where the ingredients should come from. Basil must be fresh (unseasoned) grown in Liguria, renowned for its small and highly fragrant leaves, extra virginThe process must be delicate, to protect and enhance the sensory characteristics of all of the ingredients, in particular the Basil, which is very sensitive to heat during the production process of Pesto. The basil must be processed fresh so that the aroma and taste retain their natural intensity. Packaged in glass jars is simply excellent with pasta, Bavette with Pesto alla Genovese is one of the most famous recipes in Italy. olive oil, pine nuts, grated pecorino and parmesan cheese and garlic: only fresh ingredients, free from preservatives and colorants.
Here, you'll find the TRADITIONAL recipe, but feel free to substitute ingredients from another region. eg. Basil not from Genoa.
You should use a pestle and mortar... but trust me... that's a huge pain in the... arm! ;)
But that's undoubtably the best way, but you can get very acceptable results using a blender. Just put all the ingredients in a blender and blitz until almost smooth.
