Serves - 2
Ingredients -
2 Cloves - Garlic
15g - Parmesan Cheese, Freshly Grated
15g - Pinenuts, Untoasted * See note down below
45g (1 Bunch) - Basil Leaves
3 Tbs - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 1/2 Tbs - Sea Salt (1/2 Tbs for pesto, 1 Tbs for pasta water)
1/4 tsp - Ground Black Pepper
250g - Spaghetti or Pasta of your choice
Parmesan Cheese and Basil to serve.
Note* - I have used untoasted pinenuts. You can toast these if you prefer. It adds an extra nutty flavour to the pesto. To toast, place the pinenuts on a baking tray and place in a preheated oven set to 180.C or 350.F and toast for 3-4 minutes, until lightly golden. Add to the blender as per usual.

THE BEST SUN-DRIED TOMATO PESTO PASTA!!
Easiest most delicious sun dried tomato pesto. I know you have basil ???? growing out of control like I do so let’s make a delicious nutty but sweet pesto. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months and you can even freeze it in a ice-cube tray for individual portions too. So delicious and perfect for pesto eggs which you all love on my page. You will need:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4 cups fresh basil leaves
1-2 garlic cloves (I like more but it’s up to you)
1/2 cup walnuts or pine nuts (use hemp hearts if allergic to nuts)
1 cup grated parmigiano
1.5 cups sun dried tomatoes
1/2 cup olive oil or until desired consistency (could be less)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Please note: you can use hemp hearts or seeds if you are nut-free. Use as much sun dried tomatoes as you like. I don’t measure when I cook, I was taught to taste and adjust so everything is to taste. Pecorino romano cheese instead of parm is also an option. Feel free to use 1/2 spinach and 1/2 basil leaves if you want a milder taste which is what I often do as well. You can lightly toast your nuts in a pan or leave them raw, up to you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Add the basil, garlic, and nuts of choice to a food processor. Blitz until crumbly. Add the grated parm, sun dried tomatoes and blitz again. Slowly start to add in the olive oil through the spout and a little bit at a time until you have your desired consistency. You can use it within 7-10 days in the fridge or freeze in a ice cube tray. If you don’t have a lid for your ice cube tray you can also freeze it and once it’s frozen you can transfer into a Ziploc bag for individual portions. If you don’t have a food processor you can do this in a blender but you will have to keep opening the blender to add a little bit of oil at a time and blending and scraping it down to help it along. If you are old school you can also use a mortar and pestle which is the traditional way. I was going to use a mortar and pestle but mine is not big enough. Enjoy with pesto eggs, on wraps, pasta, sandwiches, as marinade on chicken, shrimp or anything else you love.

How to make Pesto | Gennaro Contaldo | ???????? ????❤️
You can make Pesto from loads of store cupboard bits and pieces.
There is no one better to show you how to make pesto than Gennaro Contaldo, and if there is, I don't want to know! Not only does he give you the classic Genovese pesto, but two other unique versions as well, each one entirely different to the last. OH MY OH MY! Stir through pasta, add to grilled or roasted meat or veg, or simply spoon onto crusty bread - the simple things are always the best!
Gennaro in Italy
Gennaro doing what the Italians do best – sourcing good ingredients and making simple, bold dishes with little effort and time involved. This was filmed before the Corona Virus lock down.
Rather than cut these videos right down, we have left them a little longer and kept them relaxed. We think watching Gennaro in Italy is a glorious thing, and Gennaro does such a great job at being both inspiring and entertaining. So sit back and enjoy these as they roll out – we would love to know what you think.
