PESTO GENOVESE (AUTHENTIC ITALIAN BASIL PESTO)



Pesto Genovese (Authentic Italian Basil Pesto) image

An authentic Genoese pesto. It's straight from Italy and you won't find a better recipe! This calls for a spoonful of pecorino cheese, but you could also use all Parmesan in a pinch. To store in fridge for up to 1 month: place pesto in a jar, cover with olive oil, and top with a lid.

PESTO GENOVESE | AUTHENTIC ITALIAN BASIL PESTO



Pesto Genovese | Authentic Italian Basil Pesto image

Pesto Genovese is an uncooked cold sauce made only with 7 ingredients: Genovese basil DOP, extra virgin olive oil (Possibly of the Ligurian Riviera), Parmigiano Reggiano (or Grana Padano), Pecorino cheese (Fiore Sardo), pine nuts, garlic and salt. It was born in Liguria, a beautiful region situated in northern Italy. It's one of the sauces most used in our country and nowadays it's famous all over the world.

Time 15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

50 g of small basil leaves (about 60/65 leaves)
1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil
70 g (½ cup) of Parmigiano Reggiano or Grana Padano
30 g (2 tablespoons) of Pecorino Fiore Sardo
2 peeled garlic cloves
15 g (1 tablespoon) of pine nuts
4/5 grains of coarse salt
ice

Steps:

  • Wash and dry the basil leaves very well on a kitchen towel. Place them in a food processor with garlic, pine nuts and grated Parmigiano. Chop coarsely for a few seconds then add salt and Pecorino Fiore Sardo cheese cut into small pieces. Blend all the ingredients for about 1 minute.
  • Add extra virgin olive oil. Blend for about 5 minutes, until you'll get a creamy green pesto sauce. Pesto must not heat up, so be careful to work quickly, using the food processor at minimum speed and at intervals, that is, blend a few seconds, stop and start again.
  • Before seasoning your pasta dish, if the basil pesto is too thick, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of the cooking water; this way you'll have a warm homogeneous soft pesto sauce.

CLASSIC PESTO



Classic Pesto image

Some say using a blender rather than a food processor results in a smoother puree. When combining pesto with pasta, Ligurians mix a small ladle of the cooking water into the pesto just before adding the noodles; this dilutes the concentrated sauce and helps it adhere to the pasta.

1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

PESTO ALLA GENOVESE



Pesto Alla Genovese image

This is a proper pesto, with the cheese, garlic, and pignoli providing subtle accompaniment to the bright freshness of basil. The mortar-and-pestle preparation keeps it from turning black, as it would if made with a knife or food processor. You can keep this pesto in the fridge up to six months, as long as you keep a thin film of oil floating on top. This is a thin sauce, not the thick, gloppy stuff you get in the supermarket.

Provided by DrGaellon

Categories     Sauces

Time 20m

Yield 1 cup, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch fresh basil, washed and thoroughly dried (80 medium sized leaves, about 1.5 ounces by weight)
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
3 tablespoons freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
3 tablespoons freshly grated pecorino cheese
1 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Pound the basil, garlic, salt and pine nuts together in the mortar until they are a paste. Start by grinding the mass against the sides of the mortar, using a twisting motion of the pestle. Once everything has been reduced to a paste, you can start pounding.
  • Slowly add the cheeses, about a tablespoon at a time, continuing to pound.
  • Once the cheeses are fully incorporated, scrape it into a bowl and begin slowly adding the olive oil, stirring constantly.
  • Transfer any leftovers into a sealable jar, and float a thin layer of oil on top.
