Pesto

[princess815]

^^ thanks sis. siguro nga blender nalang din. kaso baka naman maging juice na yun

[angeljolie]

A blender is fine.  Pag tamad ako, I use it.  Pag masipag ako, mortar & pestle. Ang maganda kasi when you use a M&P, maganda yung texture nya. Pag blender, sobrang fine nya na so wala ka na manguya masyado hehe.  Ako kasi gusto ko yung may nakakagat pa akong nuts.

sis, have you watched the recipe of pesto sa kay susan tayo? Instead of basil leaves, malunggay ang linagay? I wonder how it taste? Parang gusto kong itry kasi ang daming malunggay dito sa min. LOL

[angeljolie]

^Hindi ko napanood eh.  Pero parang takot ako sa malunggay.  May mapait kasi na lasa yung malunggay.  Pag na-try mo sis post mo kung ok ha?

[etxetera]

I tried making pesto the other week I used pistachio wala kasi akong mahanap na pine nuts okay naman ang kinalabasan. Di gano mabenta sa bahay yung pasta pero nung nilagay ko as sauce sa pizza nasarapan sila

[sugarcube]

mas masarap kung madaming parmesan cheese and extra virgin olive oil kesa sa ordinary olive oil lang

I love pesto pasta. That's why I bought a small jar of pesto sauce coz I want to have a home-made pesto chicken (or tuna for the health conscious) It sits in our cabinet for 4 months na ata. I haven't seen a pine nuts since birth but we have lots of cashew nuts from singapore. I think that is a good substitute for pine nuts.

Certified Pesto lover here!! I specially love pesto sa Cibo and Trattoria sa Shang mall (right beside Kashieca)

 I remember when I ate pesto in one pasta place near our place. Naging kachummy ko yung waitress kasi lagi ako pumupunta doon to order my favorite pesto.  Minsan pa nga dadating nalang ako, hindi na nya tinatanong order ko.  Anyway, nasabi nya sa akin na ako lang ang kilala nya na mahilig sa pesto, kasi lahat daw nag nagoorder ng pesto sa kanila, di nagugustuhan kasi lasang sosyal daw.  So... sosyal ako?? ganun?? hehehhe

Anyway, for those who cannot make pesto, meron sa shopwise or sa rustans na Gourmet's Pesto sauce.  Just add nyo lang sa mainit na al dente noodles.

has anyone tried the pesto mix of mccormick?

Are you referring to the one in powder form?  If you're referring to it, yes I've tried it before.  I didn't find it good.  I can't stand the taste of dried basil.  I still go for the pesto that's made from fresh basil leaves.
