Fun fact: pasta al pesto is the main "university food" here in Italy because pesto jars are sooo economic and last a lot and well we can't really run out of dry pasta.
Same in Switzerland, but the jarred pesto is not the real deal; they generally sub almost all the ingredients with parsley, cashews, cheap cheese and vegetable oil

This video made me realize that there's two different Ragusea's. One who speaks very clearly as a teacher, and one who speaks moreso as a learner. A lot of older videos had a clear Teacher Mode vibe, because they were just recipes he has done multiple times and is well versed in. Whereas a lot of newer videos are unconsciously from the "I am just telling you about this thing I'm not super familiar with" vibe. This one made me notice it because he so clearly is speaking with experience, no doubt given his Italian background. I love both Ragusea's, and I imagine it's much more difficult to make teacher-mode videos, but I do prefer ones where he has clear authority, cuz I love how he explains things!
Personally, I swear by a few drops of fresh lemon juice to keep my Pesto green longer, and the slight flavor really compliments it as well. It's an easier way to stabilize the color. And if you really want to super-charge the green color, use about 10 - 20% baby spinach mixed with the basil. It adds a lot of vitamins, too!
Honestly I really do appreciate Adam's thought process when filming a video, not only do you get a very easy to follow tutorial, the background information almost feels like a mini crash course in food science (I for one love that, as a pharmsci major), which helps people understand not only what goes into dishes, but also WHY it does. To me that is one of the best things a cook could understand and what many food youtubers miss out.

He has an awesome series called Sundays in the old cookbook where he pulls from his vast knowledge and hundred plus year old cookbooks the history from way back in primarily American cookbooks, although he's Canadian
It's not authentic pesto, but you can do it with almonds as well, if you are not allergic to those! A restaurant I worked in used almonds instead of pine nuts to make a cheaper pesto, it still was quite good
My Dad has made pesto this way my whole life (without blanching). He would always make huge batches too because it was my favorite and easy to heat up for leftovers. Maybe I am color blind or something but I never noticed the "browning" before. It just looks darker green to me and always tasted the same (to me anyway). Great video I need to make some pesto now, lol
the thing i love about adam is that he lets us know that the ingredients are base, but the ratios are to HIS taste, so you might need to adjust. he's a real class act.
I love pine nuts, so when I make pesto, I also leave some of them intact in order to feel the crunch & taste them outright. Not too many, of course. Just a few. To die for. Your hint to blanche the basil was way cool. Thanks!
Another tip for keeping your pesto green, a squeeze of lemon juice! Keeps the pesto green for days if you have any leftover. (Also pesto done with toasted sesame seeds instead of pine nuts is lush!)
As a kid this was one of my favorite dishes. My grandmother made it with a knife and never used nuts. She also ALWAYS used fusilli, not the short spirals but the long corkscrew type. It still tastes better on that shape to me. Thanks for sharing this version. I'm going to have to try it!
I literally have several basil plants reaching the end of their lives rn and I’ve been frantically deciding how to go about preserving it…Adam has answered
Pesto is probably one of my favourite foods of all time. We used to make it all the time when we grew basil in our garden. I haven't grown basil in years, so I miss fresh pesto so much. I wish science could come up with a way to make jarred pesto that isn't yucky. I still buy it because it's better than nothing (barely) and helps to ease the craving for pesto. But I swear the jarred pesto is like 90% salt and 10% unknown brown stuff.
Recently I’ve been trying to cook more for myself bc my doctor said I’m hypoglycemic and your videos help me figure out what I can make with what I have and gives me ideas on what to eat for dinner, and your voice and videos help me relax.

We made this this week and it was great. Big family dinner so we did the garlic and nuts in the mortar and moved it to the food processor for the basil, cheese, and oil. Used parmigiano reggiano and pistachios instead of peccorino and pine nuts. It was delicious. Also did the blanching trick and it worked perfectly! The leftovers were green days later. Excellent recipe!
Blanching the basil leaves was a nice touch, very clever. I like how a simple recipe is analysed here, elevated even without sounding too pretentious. The thought process of the cook and the cooking is presented so well.
Great video, Adam! FYI the optimal way to use the mortar using your whole forearm stength for it. The mortar's top should be pushing against the palm of your hand with your wrist being straight and your forearm doing the work, and you should place a finger along it's shaft to stabilise it while grinding. It does not matter much in this recipe, but it will save you from a lot of wrist pain if you ever want to crush finer ingredients.
Honestly I completely understand where you're coming from on this. My mamaw is one of 10 siblings. She had 6 children. My parents had 2, me and my brother. I currently live alone. I don't cook massive amounts of food for one night the way my grandparents and great grandparents did. If I cook the old family recipes, which I love and cherish, it's making food for a whole week with what would have been enough for one night 80 years ago when mamaw was growing up
My wife bought me a marble mortar and wooden pestle and I love it for pesto. I live in a region that is cold much of the year, but I wish I could grow basil year-round and have fresh pesto every week.
Regular watcher. Really liked this episode. Very quick, but informative and precise. Loved the idea about blanching the leaves! Though if people are letting it sit that long, then poo poo on them; it's their fault they're now grazing on brown pesto noodies.
@@elviratornay2070 Sometimes when he makes a video explaining something about food, his next video has the food he explained in it. If I remember correctly, the one about pigeons was like this, he made a video explaining the consumption of them and then he used pigeon meat in the next video.
I never thought to use a kitchen knife. I think you just revolutionized the way I make pesto. Far less tedious, and a food processor just isn't the same Thank you
My favourite dish of all time is my moms pesto. She doesn't add pine nuts and usually waits for the pasta to cool a bit so the cheese doesn't melt. I would eat that for the rest of my life if I could
This recipe is really similar to the recipe my family uses! (we roast or skip the garlic though) Recently, I've started adding some lemon juice to mine and I've found that helps with the browning and makes the pesto taste a lot brighter. It's worth a try (and you can add the zest for an even more lemony taste!)
besides the things I learn from this channel, its so Homey. like I can make the things he makes. its seems the other guys have all these gargets that I can't afford . So thank you Adam. its nice to try out the food you make
Genuinely in love with this recipe. The mortar and pestle method is fantastic (albeit a bit of a workout), and I love that I can make a bunch of Pesto and freeze it into ice cubes for extra quick week night meals
I like how the spices all build up over time but yeah it does mean that when you go and make something like this it does pick up new and interesting dimensions.
A small bunch of parsley helps the color a ton as well. I'll often make pesto with basil, parsley and just a touch of marjoram and really love the flavor that provides...
I know it’s not traditional but I found an immersion blender to be the ideal tool to make pesto. Goes very quickly, doesn’t need a lot of cleanup and with the right blade you also get that nice smashed basil.
Tried this recipe and it turned out great! I only had a small pestle and mortar, so I ended up only grinding the pine nuts and garlic before mixing all of it together with finely chopped basil, freshly grated parmesan, and olive oil.
Just shared this with my trainer! We were talking about pesto and how we both made it. This is different from what either one of us has tried before. Can't wait to try it out!
Hey Adam, I appreciate you putting sugar in things that benefit from it. I swear that the high end culinary world is deathly afraid of adding sugar to things that typically need it.
Hey Adam. I've been thinking recently how it's unnatural or at least probably not very good to be eating meat every. Single. Mealtime. So I'm really glad you uploaded this video. I want to try a few dinners that don't use meat. I think I'll go through your backlog and find some more to try. But I would definitely love if you made more "simple, easy, no meat meals" videos. Thanks!
hey, yeah hes actually mentioned that he and his family eat meatless most days, and hes talked about wanting to do more meatless stuff but worrying that it wont get as many views etc. hes done a few more recently tho anyways. i also have those same sort of thoughts and i think more people now do, especially if you dont count vegetarians, by which i mean that i think nowadays, theres an increasing number of meat eaters who make efforts to make less meat (but not fully stop). i can def recommend learning the basics of stirfrying, u can make a lot of combinations of different stirfried vegetables and its quite nice, as well as stir fried rice or noodles without meat. i do make meat stirfries too but mostly vegetarian, or sometimes when i use meat ill do it more as a seasoning in a small portion
This dude feels like he could be the next contender with Binging with Babish n the educational and informational scope of things. And I am here for it. You've got a new subscriber my dude. Keep it up.
Interesting trick on blanching the Basil. I make a huge batch of pesto in the fall and freeze it in little plastic containers like what salad dressing comes in when you order takeout. That way I can have homemade pesto all winter and spring. But it's always off color and I thought it was just something I had to live with. I'm going to try the blanching trick!
Hey there Adam!!! I LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS!!! Your food always looks absolutely delicious... besides I would listen to your amazing voice ALL DAY even if you weren't cooking anything at all... lol!!! Your voiceovers are very captivating. I am so inspired by your channel. I feel so blessed coming across your channel... YOU'RE MY MENTOR!!! 💖💖💖
Good tip: blanch the greens and add lemon juice, then refrigerate the pesto. It'll brighten and preserve the color well. I make a spinach walnut pesto this way and it'll hold its color for a couple weeks. Just place the jar in a bowl of hot water if the fats solidify.
Hey I did a great first thing this week, I made a chicken stock from a rotisserie chicken from the supermarket. It’s Helen Rennie’s idea I think. I took off the breast first. I used it in a bacon cabbage and potato hot pot and added the broth and sliced breast too, it was fantastic.
Tip for Adam and everyone else:use hand food processor to chop everything and the switch to the plastic bit. It does not have sharp edges and it does exactly what Adam talk about: it grind the sauce, turn it to smooth creamy sauce.
I do mine in a blendtec, I also add lemon juice to maintain color and I like the acid when balnaced with some honey or sugar. I do huge batches and freeze it in vacuum bags.
It really makes a difference when u use it instead of using a food processor. It's a basic kitchen tool here in India. I'd recommend making some Pudina chutney when u order some tikka chicken next time :)
Pesto, grew up within an Italian family from the old country. An excellent red sauce starts with a good pesto. Contradict my grandfather that was first born here in 1913 from Italy. Pesto was the mashed goods to go into a marinara sauce.
Basil pesto is one of a handful of foods I couldn't live without (bacon is also in this category). This is the type of recipe where I like to use the Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus food processor (which is also great for making aioli/mayonnaise). True, it won't turn the pine nuts into a paste but it does a good enough job and I find it is easier and less messy than the traditional method documented in this video.
"This artisanal hunting knife that I'll use this fall" Does that mean you hunt....? I had no idea. You've got to make some videos around that topic man!
Thanks so much, it's my favourite dish after watching Luca, never tried it before, and i wanted to learn how to make it more tastier. My pesto was not as good as a restoran's one

I do mine in a blendtec, I also add lemon juice to maintain color and I like the acid when balnaced with some honey or sugar. I do huge batches and freeze it in vacuum bags.
I am suddenly glad that I bought a mortar and pestle impulsively after watching Master Chef.
It really makes a difference when u use it instead of using a food processor. It's a basic kitchen tool here in India. I'd recommend making some Pudina chutney when u order some tikka chicken next time :)
You should try to make a Brazilian recipe! We have lots of fascinating dishes and flavors to explore.

Great recipe! Pesto is such a quick, cheap, and easy thing to make, and it tastes amazing
Pesto is the besto!
It's fun to watch Adam go through little phases. Right now he's in the "add sugar to literally everything" movement
Hey Adam, what are your thoughts on chicken salt? we use it all the time in Australia on our hot chips (fries)!
What on earth is chicken salt???? Please explain, I'm very curious!!! ☺️
Apparently it's made with actual chicken...huh.
What are cold chips then
@@carsondubs The crispy ones in a bag XD
chicken salt is basically seasoning powder right?
once I got too lazy to cook and just put chicken powder on plain rice
made it with an immersion blender, divine
Pesto is no.1 sauce, love it!

Me: "Any nut, you say?
Pls no
Pesto, grew up within an Italian family from the old country. An excellent red sauce starts with a good pesto. Contradict my grandfather that was first born here in 1913 from Italy. Pesto was the mashed goods to go into a marinara sauce.

I love pasta with pesto, chicken and broccoli. It's really simple, but it's pretty good

Basil pesto is one of a handful of foods I couldn't live without (bacon is also in this category). This is the type of recipe where I like to use the Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus food processor (which is also great for making aioli/mayonnaise). True, it won't turn the pine nuts into a paste but it does a good enough job and I find it is easier and less messy than the traditional method documented in this video.
Me, an italian whose grandma makes amazing pesto already: *"hmm, interesting"*
Yo hmu with summa that pesto

"This artisanal hunting knife that I'll use this fall"
Does that mean you hunt....? I had no idea. You've got to make some videos around that topic man!
Mans is from Pennsylvania. Hunting is practically a lifestyle here lol
Probably doesnt want to advertise the fact he owns firearms to freaks online... smart decision
Thanks so much, it's my favourite dish after watching Luca, never tried it before, and i wanted to learn how to make it more tastier. My pesto was not as good as a restoran's one
