I love pesto. And I am not talking about salsa verde (known to Spanish-speakers), but rich flavorful basil taste with a hint of elusive pine nuts, a touch of salt and olive oil with depth. So, I have tried out countless proportions and ingredients from friends, real Italian nonnas, and, the internet.This recipe is the most simple but essential one for me and can be used on everything you want to enhance or eat plain with pasta or on bread.The longer you mix it, the creamier (but with less texture) it becomes.Enjoy !!!

A more elaborate version of hummus bi tahini, the classic chickpeas puree. In this recipe, the hummus is topped with small beef cubes and fried pine nuts. Serve while the meat is still warm!

I knew ham and broccoli together is delicious I wanted to try it with couscous.

I make this pesto alla genovese every year. I've made it with roasted pine nuts for years. It goes well with pasta, toast, or white fish and asparagus. I've also made it with peanuts but pine nuts taste best.Roasting the pine nuts and then adding them to the sauce makes it smell so, so delicious. They have a high oil content, so be careful not to let them boil. If Parmigiano-Reggiano is difficult to find, you can use grated cheese. If you want to make it more or less salty, change the type of cheese you use accordingly. Sprinkling black pepper on while eating gives it a great smell. Recipe by Brandy

Use this added to any meats, stews, soups, or salads.

Had way too many cukes from garden then humanly possible to eat, So I did some research, made this recipe & well It's Pretty Good, considering I don't even like relish :) It is a little time consuming however, but really worth it, u can double the recipe for larger batches

Food reporter Julia Moskin wrote about what she called modular and complete meals that could be quickly adapted to dietary preferences. She mentioned this pasta as an example and it got 5 stars from me. After making it several times, I modified it a bit.#pasta #tagliatelle #pappardelle #fettuccine #pancetta #bacon #lemon #pine #nuts #parsley #Parmesan #dinner #easy #quick

Always wanted to make my own mustard but I didn't want to make it to sharp, and I didn't want it to be too mellow. So here is my mustard. WARNING if you stir mustard powder in water too hard or too long it will become very hot.
