How we make Genovese Pesto at the farm

This is how we make Genovese Pesto at the farm. Pestos around Italy are made from whatever is locally available. Pine nuts are usually used but any nut will do, we like to use cashew nuts or pistachios.

There is no such thing as authentic pesto. "Pesto" means to "ground", "pound" or "crush". Pesto is a generic term for anything that is made by pounding. There are many ways to make pesto and endless recipes. In the Calabria region where our family is from is common to use sun-dried tomatoes and hot chilis to make pesto.

For this Genovese Pesto Recipe we used:
๐Ÿ‘‰ 1.5 cups of fresh Genovese basil
๐Ÿ‘‰ 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil
๐Ÿ‘‰ Half a garlic clove
๐Ÿ‘‰ Half a cup of nuts
๐Ÿ‘‰ Half a cup of parmesan cheese
