Combining ingredients according to your own
taste, without forgetting the basic ones and minding the quality, this is how
good food is made.
Pesto is one of the easiest sauces ever sold,
yet very expensive in the market if u know what it is made from.
It is though important to know that the taste
comes from fresh ingredients. Nothing apart those can give to whatever you are preparing the taste you are wishing for.
Forget about dried spices, those ones are
just dull and will never give character to your dishes.
Ingredients for 4 people :
For my pesto I used Basil leaves (10 – 12
middle size leaves are enough), taken directly from the plant I got at home,
few slices of pecorino cheese (30 gr), ¼ of a garlic, olive oil (a coffee cup)
and pistachios (20 gr). I made a change to the original formula and used
pistachios instead of pine seeds.
Start by blending the cheese with the olive
oil. Once the mass is uniform add the leaves and at the end the pistachios.
Bon Appetit
