How to Make FRESH BASIL PESTO Like an Italian
Fresh basil pesto is so easy to make and one of the most versatile condiments in Italian cooking. It originated in the region of Liguria and when made fresh the salty flavour just dances on your tastebuds.
When making your own pesto at home, the trick is to use fresh basil leaves – either from your own garden, the farmers market or your neighbours!
Be warned, once you start blending the basil, your kitchen will be filled with the most delicious aroma and as soon as you combine the pine nuts and parmigiano you will not be able to resist a few scoops almost right away!

Spinach Basil Pesto
Basil Pesto
Ingredients:
⁃ 1 cup basil leaves
⁃ 1 cup spinach
⁃ 1/2 lemon juice
⁃ 1/3 cup olive oil
⁃ 1/2 cup water
⁃ 2 cloves garlic
⁃ 1 teaspoon salt ( + more to taste )
⁃ 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
⁃ 1 1/4 cup cashew meal ( almond, walnuts, and pecans will work too )
Instructions:
1. If you're making your own cashew meal ( or other ground nut meal ), blend your whole nuts until they're coarsely ground first so it will be ready to add at the end of the recipe.
2. Blend basil leaves, spinach, water, lemon juice, and olive oil until combined
3. Add in garlic cloves, cashew meal ( ground nuts ), salt, and pepper and blend or pulse until well combined.
4. Enjoy pesto.
Notes:
⁃ The flavor of the nut you use will be be notable in the flavor of your pesto.
⁃ If you're gonna to use this on pasta, then I recommend letting the pasta cool down before adding your pesto so the basil leaves don't get scorched and lose their vibrant flavor. To revive your pasta from being dry after cooling down, add some reserved cooled pasta water and mix it in before adding the pesto.
Andy Makes BA's Best Pesto | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit
Join Andy Baraghani in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes BA's very best pesto. The key for this classic pesto recipe is to add the basil at the very end instead of blending everything all at once. That way the basil doesn’t get bruised or lose its flavor and maintains its vibrant green color.

How to Make Basil Pesto (without Pine Nuts)
Pesto is a great way to use fresh basil from your garden. I opted to use sunflower seeds rather than the traditional Pine nuts. You could also substitute with Walnuts.
I also included the best way to preserve extra pesto for storage, vacuum sealing. Using this method the pesto will stay green, even after thawing.

Making pesto is easy and pecans add a wonderful buttery taste to the final results!
