Cooking tips

  • Store leftover basil pesto in a sterilized glass jar, covering the surface with a thin layer of olive oil to keep it fresh for a long time.
  • Do not rinse the pasta in cold water; toss it with the pesto while still warm so the seasoning and aroma penetrate the noodles deeply.

Recommended for

  • Those who prefer fresh, clean oil- and pesto-based pastas.
  • Those looking for a fragrant homemade basil pesto recipe.
  • Those who want to enjoy a stylish Western dish in just 15 minutes.

Turned out well

I ended up with way too much basil and didn’t know what to do with it, but making pesto turned out great—thick and wonderfully flavorful.
