This recipe uses walnuts instead of pine nuts and lots of Parmesan cheese. So my mother prepared pesto! It's really tasty, try it!
Ingredients (for 4 servings for 4 people)
•
Basil 150 gr.
•
Parmesan cheese 100gr.
•
Extra virgin olive oil 200 g.
•
Shelled walnuts 100 gr.
•
Salt to taste
Clean the basil by removing the stems and set aside only the leaves. Wash them well and put them to dry on a cloth.
Prepare the shelled walnuts and grate the Parmesan cheese.
Start preparing the pesto by putting the basil leaves, walnuts, Parmesan cheese last, oil and a pinch of salt in the blender glass.
Blend well trying to mix everything well and, if necessary, add a supplement of olive oil about 30-40 ml to make it even more homogeneous.
When it is ready, put the pesto in small containers, preferably glass, calculating 1 tablespoon per person each.
You can organize mini-portions that you can freeze and use as needed.
If you store it in the fridge, I recommend covering it with oil and you can use it within 1 week.
The pesto is ready and you can season any type of pasta.
I prepared the stale bread gnocchi (you can find the recipe here) and I seasoned them with this simple but very tasty pesto. Enjoy your meal!
