In this classic pesto recipe, you can learn how to this flavorful, versatile sauce. And maybe you&#8217;ll get inspired to make your own variations, too!<\/p>\n<h2>What is pesto?<\/h2>\n<p>Pesto is a rustic Italian paste-meets-sauce. It&#8217;s made by grinding fresh basil leaves with other ingredients like garlic and cheese, then slowly adding olive oil to create a chunky, ground sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Pesto originated in the Liguria region of Italy, where basil grows abundantly. The capital of Liguria is Genoa, and because of this, authentic pesto is sometimes referred to as <em>pesto Genovese<\/em>. The traditional ingredients are fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, salt, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/parmigiano-reggiano-vs-parmesan\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/parmigiano-reggiano-vs-parmesan\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Parmigiano-Reggiano<\/a> or pecorino Romano cheese and olive oil. The name &#8220;pesto&#8221; is derived from &#8220;pestle,&#8221; the tool used with a mortar to hand-grind ingredients for the sauce.<\/p>\n<h2>Pesto Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Basil:<\/strong> Pesto is all about bold flavor, so use the brightest, most aromatic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/fresh-basil\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/fresh-basil\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">fresh basil<\/a> you can find. This should be a cinch in the summer when basil is in season. Look for bundles at your go-to grocery store or farmers market. (Or, if a neighbor&#8217;s garden is overrun with basil, ask for a bunch!) The leaves should be bright green and plump, with no brown spots. If packaged basil leaves are your only option, choose one with no brown spots or withering.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheese:<\/strong> Aged Italian cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano or <em>fiore sardo<\/em> are the best choices for pesto. Other choices include pecorino and Asiago cheeses, though these have a stronger flavor that will come through in your pesto. Wedges of plain Parmesan will also work fine. What&#8217;s most important is that you don&#8217;t use Parmesan &#8220;shake&#8221; cheese from a can! This brilliant sauce won&#8217;t be the same if made with imitation, shelf-stable cheese.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> Make sure the garlic you use is fresh\u2014no garlic powder or jarred, minced garlic here. Shop for garlic bulbs that feel heavy for their size, with dry outer layers and no soft spots on the cloves or signs of sprouting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Olive oil:<\/strong> Extra virgin olive oil is the most typical choice for pesto. Since the flavors are so important in pesto, make sure your oil hasn&#8217;t turned rancid, which happens easily with bottles that have been in your pantry a while or stored improperly (yes, you can learn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-store-olive-oil\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-store-olive-oil\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">how to store olive oil the right way<\/a>!). If it&#8217;s time to replace your oil, buy the best-quality olive oil you can afford.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pine nuts:<\/strong> Also known as <em>pignoli<\/em>, pine nuts are small seeds from pine trees, used in both savory and sweet Italian foods. The ivory-colored nuts have a soft texture and a buttery flavor that&#8217;s enhanced by toasting. Pine nuts tend to be expensive because they&#8217;re more labor-intensive to harvest than other nuts. Toast pine nuts in a single layer in a skillet over medium heat, stirring and tossing the nuts for several minutes until they become fragrant. (Be careful not to burn them.) Let them cool before using.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Chop the basil mixture<\/h3>\n<p>Put the basil leaves, grated cheese, garlic and salt in a food processor bowl.

Experiment with the extra herbs from your garden to make a pesto blend.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add more greens:<\/strong> Greens like spinach, kale and arugula make amazing pesto and give you another way of preserving seasonal produce from the farmers market or CSA.

It will still have the flavor and intensity of the basil and garlic, plus the texture of the pine nuts. Or add nutritional yeast if you don&#8217;t want to sacrifice that umami cheese flavor.

Add a pinch or two of black pepper or red pepper flakes. Add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar for a bit of acid to balance the rich sauce and enhance the other flavors. You can also increase the amount of basil you use in this recipe.

Pour your pesto into a small glass or plastic storage container. Add a thin layer of olive oil to the top, which will help prevent air from oxidizing the basil and turning the pesto brown. Cover the dish tightly.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Freeze Pesto<\/h2>\n<p>There are two options to freeze your pesto. You can pour your whole batch into a freezer-proof dish, leaving about an inch of space at the top for expansion. Pour a thin layer of olive oil over the top of the pesto, then seal the dish tightly. Place it upright in the freezer to keep the oil in place until it freezes.<\/p>\n<p>You can also freeze pesto in ice cube trays so you can later easily grab a cube or two to toss into your recipes. Spoon the pesto into an ice cube tray, then cover it tightly. Freeze until the pesto is firm. Pop out the pesto cubes (you can run a little hot water over the back of the tray to loosen them) and store the cubes in a tightly sealed freezer bag for up to one year.<\/p>\n<h2>Pesto Recipe Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1969941\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Classic-Pesto_FT23_48031_JR_0921_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Classic Pesto served with noodles, placed on a wooden table\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How can you make vibrant and creamy pesto?<\/h3>\n<p>To make sure your pesto is creamy and vibrant, don&#8217;t make the mistake of overprocessing the ingredients. It&#8217;s best to use the pulse function, which uses short bursts of power to chop the basil leaves and process the ingredients without turning them to liquid or bruising the leaves. Once you begin adding the oil, you can let the food processor run on low speed to emulsify the sauce.<\/p>\n<h3>How can you create a more rustic texture in pesto?<\/h3>\n<p>Process the basil leaves in a few batches to have larger pieces of basil in your pesto and a more traditional texture. Pulse the food processor just a few times until the leaves are coarsely chopped, remove them, and repeat with the next batch.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to get an authentic, rustic pesto (and a good workout) is to make the pesto entirely with a mortar and pestle. First, the pine nuts are ground down, then the basil leaves with salt. The cheese is pounded in next, followed by long pours of olive oil. This traditional method creates a thick and more textured pesto sauce.<\/p>\n<h3>Should you blanch the basil leaves when making pesto?<\/h3>\n<p>There are dueling opinions among cooks about whether or not to blanch basil leaves before turning them into pesto. When cut, basil leaves will start to oxidize and turn brown. However, if the leaves are blanched first (very briefly dunked in boiling water, then ice water), they will keep their bright green color. The downside is the added work and time to blanch the leaves. Also, some say that blanching diminishes the vibrant flavor of the basil.<\/p>\n<p>If the pesto you&#8217;re making will be eaten quickly, you&#8217;re fine to skip blanching. For pesto that you&#8217;re planning to store or freeze for a while (or if you don&#8217;t mind a slightly toned-down flavor), you can blanch and dry your basil leaves before processing them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This versatile pesto boasts a perfect basil flavor.
