- I show you how to make a classic pesto sauce as they do in the city of Genoa, Liguria Italy. With my twists on making it a brighter green and what to do if you want to store it in the fridge without discolouration of your basil.
Pesto Genovese
1 large bunch fresh Genovese basil, washed, spun or patted dry
1 large clove garlic, peeled, sliced
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil , with fruity and grassy notes
2 Tbsp. - 1/4 cup pistachios or pinenuts (20-40 gm )
Sea salt to taste
Approx. ½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano or to taste
Using a small chopper or food processor bowl, add a swirl of olive oil, sliced garlic, salt and nuts. Layer in the basil leaves and the cheese on top. Drizzle with the olive oil. Pulse several times to blend. Mix until creamy and fully blended , about 1 minute.
Use immediately in your favourite pasta or gnocchi recipe. If saving some for later use, pour into a glass jar and cover with a layer of olive oil to prevent browning.
To prepare in mortar and pestle, add peeled garlic and coarse salt in mortar and pound to mash garlic into a paste. Add nuts, basil and continue to swirl, gradually add olive oil working in a slow stream while stirring with pestle. Add cheese and stir to blend.

Ciao Christine ! Amo particolarmente il fatto che tu quando prepari qualcosa di classico italiano, fai molto attenzione alla pronuncia originale delle cose, anche, come in questo caso, della città di Genova, non solo degli ingredienti. 👍🤗 Saluti dall’Italia ! 🇮🇹👋
Molto grazie ! I appreciate it. I really want to do justice to these beautiful recipes and the Italian language , as best as I can.
Yes please! Ricotta gnocchi! Can't wait to try it with the pesto!
You got it. They are sooo good with this pesto.
Hi Christine! You've created something very special again! A classic italian taste with a little twist.
I can't wait the ricotta gnocchi with your delicious pesto (I call it "christo")😊❤
Ahh ! That is so great . I’m so glad you love it. The gnocchi video is coming up. .. it’s processing now
Definitely gnocchi with Ricotta
Ok. It looks like a go on gnocchi.
Oh LOVELY! Yes pesto, heady magic! Thanks for those special tips, plus new pistachios excitement. Christine, I have to tell you a pesto story here: I grow basil and tomatoes in pots placed on my driveway where it's extra hot and sunny. So when I go in and out of the house I pass them, and love to touch them. The fuzzy tomato leaves' scent is SO vibrant tomato. And then touch the basil. The magic perfumes are so beautiful, life is good.
And YES PLEASE ricotta gnocchi! Ricotta yay, gnocchi yay, but home cooks wanna know, aren't ricotta gnocchi gonna fall apart!? Thanks again.
What a great story.! I love the scent of tomato leaves also and touching herbs is also a ritual for me whenever I see them growing. I will make the ricotta gnocchi for my next video and all will be revealed. See you then.
Great recipe!! greetings from Ecuador 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨love Italy 🇮🇹 🇮🇹🇮🇹
Thank you very much !
Gotta love pesto, it's one of the mother sauces of Italy. I'd love to visit the best seaside towns of the Liguria region of Italy.
So true! It is magical. Those seaside towns of Liguria are indeed stunning. Stay tuned for gnocchi next video.
Hi Christine! I just discovered Wall of Chefs and I am a huge fan of the show. I have also never been happy with any store bought pesto so I am really excited to try to make this fresh pesto! Thank you for this video!
I’m so glad you discovered The “ Wall” as we fondly called it on set. You will love this pesto. Thank you
I'm All In For The Ricotta 🎉
Basil is the Drama Queen of the plant world. The slightest irregularity and it falls over onto its fainting couch, crying for its smelling salts! 😆
That is so funny. Yes very delicate
Yes to ricotta gnocchi. I’ve made it a couple of times years ago but I would like to see how you make it! I love your style of cooking and your recipes.
Many thanks. It will be coming up in the next video.
Never would have thought to use pistachios, but you are right Pine nuts are getting harder to find these days. I would love for you to share your gnocchi ricotta recipe. Thank you Christine for sharing this unique recipe, I will definitely give it a try.❤️👍
They are really delicious in the pesto and I'm wondering why I literally cannot find Italian pine nuts. The vote is official , so next video will be gnocchi. See you then.
Can't wait!

I’m in for gnocchi! I grow my own basil using a Click & Grow kit, so it’s always fresh. I like to make my pesto with pecans, but I will try pistachios next time!
This is perfect for you ! I know you will
Love the pistachios.

To quote what Lois Lane asked Clark Kent:
Anymore at home like you?
Yes, I hear the angels ~aaaaaahhhhhhhh~
Haha !
Yes, please on gnocchi with ricotta
Ok., coming right up.
Yes gnocchi, no fail!
Thank you for another wonderful recipe Christine! I agree it’s tough to find good pine nuts and I’m excited to try making pesto using pistachios. Your basil looks great, could I ask where you got it from? I find grocery store basil plants often lack flavour. Thanks and love your channel!
You are most welcome. This particular was from Whole Foods from a local organic grower. It was really phenomenal
@@ChristineCushing thank you, I’ll be sure to look for it at Whole Foods.
Chef Christine, Dip some of that pesto in some tortillas chips, bet it will be good.
Oh yes this pesto will be great on anything.
오....피스타치오로도 만드는구나 잘배워갑니다
Would love to see how to make gnocchi!
Perfect !
Am I in? I’ve been “in” since Dish-It-Out!
Definitely Chef..Gnocchi made from Ricotta..
It is official... gnocchi is coming up next.
Ricotta gnocchi! Yes!
Clear enough? LOL
Crystal ! 👏👏
Yes please, rocotta gnocchi…
Why Garlic?I'm allergic to garlic, can I use something else?
I myself can not handle the smell of garlic when it is in my system. Maybe try shallot or onion as a substitute.
Garlic is always in a pesto. If you are allergic I would try either chives or green onions. I hope this helps
