Everyone loves pesto, but most of us have only tried the basil-based “Pesto alla Genovese.” It’s one of my favorite things to eat, so Eva decided it was time I learned about some OTHER Italian pesto recipes… and I’m really glad she had the idea…
Today she’s sharing how to make the perfect basil pesto, plus a few other pesto variations you might want to try!

There are so many interesting ways to use pesto, do you have any favorites to share?
This is food porn. I love you guys!
Love ❤️ 💕 this video
A wonderful husband always helps, and you do not disappoint, Harper! Happy to see you both after your Easter break (hope it was very blessed)!
Ever get KFC chicken and put pesto sauce on it? It's so much better. KFC should have pesto sauce available at all their restaurants for a dipping sauce. I bet that bread pesto would be great on their fries too. And pesto on garlic bread, simple and perfect for a midnight snack.
Try any of those recipes on fry bread also known as quick bread or bannock fresh from the oven. Bannock is like pizza crust but there's less air in the dough so it stays flat and more dense instead of rising full of bubbles like regular crust, otherwise it tastes pretty much the same.
Eva, the look you gave to the camera at 6:14 is priceless. "Yep, I know it's great. Welcome to my world." That's the look you gave us.
Some ricotta (HOMEMADE), some pesto (HOMEMADE), some bread (HOMEMADE)! What is not to adore?????
beauteous.
This makes me want to try the mortar and pedestal methed when I make another rocket, garlic pepitas seed, roasted poblano chilies and completely cooled down.
Is there any chance you can explain to me how come I can't get that big ass garlic in Texas? I live in Austin and once-a-year I can find the big garlic
Always nice to see a pesto being made using a mortar, and thank you for mentioning why not to use a blender. It's a mistake I see way too often.
Should we toast the pine nuts first? I see that sometimes in other Pesto recipes.
Harper Hahaaa you are encouragable..
Anything to get Eva to make some taste sensation for you !!
I was so hoping that you would post about Salsa di Noci, my favourite Ligurian pesto. Potete farci un altro video?
Thank you for the great videos.
7:57 😢Cue flashbacks of traumatic childhood memories of having to peel bushels of tomatoes right out of the boiling water ✋🏻🔥😫
Mmmmmm, belisimo. Looks delicious.
Another reason to use the mortar and pestle – the mortar actually crushes the vegetable cells, so you get far more flavor. A blender chops into tiny tiny bits, but does not crush the cells in the same way.
What brand of olive oil are you using?
She sounds like an 80 year old woman. 🤔
Good suggestions
I hate you all right now 😂😂😢😢
"The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." *
And pesto homemade yes
Si❤
I will try them all! Grazie Eva ❤
I am about to get the little bit Ricottacheese. Fried zucchini and stir up a meal 😊
I had to buy a mortar and pestle after this ….. thank you.
Pine Nuts are not essential in pesto genovese? I noticed eva didn't use it
🇨🇦 oh my god! I am in love 💕 you can adopt me anytime now 😂 I can be your nonna. 🥰
Thank you for sharing so much cooking knowledge – even this old dog can learn new tricks! And I love good food! Real authentic flavours! My mouth is drooling watching this…….I must go get the ingredients and dig out my pestle & mortar. Sleep? Who needs sleep now! 😁😂
This summer I was in Sicily and I had pesto alla pistachio. I was very surprised how good it was.
When I was growing up , there was an advertisement on TV about keeping and old Italian granny in the broom cupboard and taking her out to cook your pasta dishes lol sounds abusive now …
But clearly Harper has a "Sexy modern day" Italian he does not need to keep in the broom cupboard, who blesses him with delicious dishes and he gets to share her with us …
Thank you , BTW I'm from South Africa ❤
I absolutely love pesto alla Genovese, but unfortunately I'm allergic to pine nuts. It's the only seed or nut that I'm allergic to. What would you suggest as a replacement for pine nuts?
My cousin's wife is Mexican from Oaxaca. The indigenous peoples of Mexico, the Mayan and Aztecas were making salsa thousands of years before the Spanish arrived. Most of the food traditions of Mexico are indigenous. So salsa wasn't a Spanish introduction.
Came here hoping for at least one nut free pesto, and Eva did not disappoint!
I'm right there with Harper; pesto alla genovese was essentially what I was introduced to many years ago and I fell in love with it. Apparently (also just like Harper) I was sorely misinformed about what pesto actually IS. The point about blenders/processors unintentionally cooking the ingredients is a critical point that I'm honestly a bit ashamed didn't occur to me the last couple times I made some pesto.
Best Italian cooking channel hands down 💯💯💯
I thought Pesto was one thing and not Pesto’s till right now 😂, now I do.
the only thing I'm unsure about is the wooden pestle, personally I prefer the stone one, I don't know if the wood absorb and release the moist of what you are making in the mortar
Fantastic video. One of the best one yet. I love it
