[_kath3na_]

I really love pesto, can someone please share their recipe? Para I can cook na lang whenever I'm craving for this. Please..

[cher.liman]

very easy to make lang, for me its just whole basil leaves, lots of evoo, a bit of salt and pepper and some cider vinegar.

red pesto naman is tomatoes done in the same way.

either mashed or chopped

[kittt0007]

and lots of garlic

[m_lim]

^correct.  ako lots of garlic, olive oil, basil leaves, pine nuts. pinch of salt & pepper.

[garei]

add some parmesan cheese..and you can also substitute your nuts w/walnuts or peANuts for pine nuts if you're just trying out the recipe first.

[cher.liman]

ay oo nga naman I forgot garlic and pine nuts

[SnowBall]

but how it is made? Basta mix mix lang? Kasi i love pesto pasta, pero sa don henricos ko lang siya nakakakain, hindi kasi ako marunong gumawa.

[bachoy]

di rin ako marunong gumawa, but i so love pesto.  siguro kelangan i-mix yung ingredients sa blender?

ako rin, i super duper love Pesto... pero i do my pesto with tuna and a little bit spicy.. just to encourage yung mga tao sa bahay to eat it...

Ingredients:
Basil Leaves (1 pack at shopwise costs around Php26 lang)
Garlic
Olive Oil
Hot & Spicy Century Tuna (drained)
Parmesan Cheese

Chop lots of garlic sa food processor, and also the basil.  Tapos in a pan, sautee your garlic sa olive oil, then pag medyo luto na sha, i put the tuna in, then dudurugin ko yung tuna.  After a while, ihahalo ko na ang basil leaves.. tapos simmer a little bit, then add the parmesan... =) then, lalagyan ko ng konting chili powder para medyo spicy... ayun lang... lasang pesto naman sha. hehe...

[kristala]

ah ok..[textspeak!] tingnan ko ulit this weekend hehe...sana makita ko na..thanks sis!

[alinkshel]

i saw wahine's recipe. it's that easy lang pala. believe me... i have no idea that it's not being cooked pala. purely chopping huh?! engots talaga! hehe...

thanks for the recipe sis. i hope i could make one like that in aveneto. but instead of chicken strips as toppings, i'll try your fave tuyo.

what if we dont have a food processor at home? how can we chop up the basil and garlic mixture? ok din ba yung binibili nalang na pesto mixture sa groceries? para tapos agad

[angeljolie]

^Kung wala kayong processor, pwede mortar & pestle.  It's the traditional way of doing pesto.

[babynibok]

ok lang ba i blender?
