My friend Petra showed her purple basil and I was so intrigued. I actually never saw it before. I grew some and am now harvesting my first bit. I thought this would be fun and whimsical to change from the norm. I added a small amount of shallot and different cheeses to further have fun and flavor in a traditional recipe. It still turns out mostly green.lol

I loooveeee greens, especially when it comes to my recipe, little or more touch of greens makes me happier, it’s like this recipe I put more than 1 green ingredients on my pesto sauce, it’s fresh yet so delish!

To go with my pesto chicken recipe, or to use over hot cooked pasta!

A creative mix between pesto and Alfredo sure to satisfy

I tried making pesto Genovese sauce!Adjust the amount of Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to taste.You can also stock this in the freezer. Recipe by bvivid

This is an easy but delicious sauce using fresh ingredients. Great served over tricolor rotini or with grilled chicken breast.

A great sauce for any pasta or anything else you like to use pesto for (sorry for the bad photo, it really is delicious!). The balsamic vinegar in this recipe pairs well with dishes that contain tomatoes. Goes excellent with the Sun-dried Tomato Pasta - See my recipe here: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/271714-sun-dried-tomato-pasta-doughMakes enough for 4 servings of pasta.Recipe from an "Infused Pasta" cooking class I took at the Seasoned Farmhouse in Columbus, Ohio by Chef Tom Hughes.Notes: You can use any other green herbs or leafy greens in place of basil. You can also substitute any nut in place of the pine nuts. Almonds are the closest flavor to pine nuts, but cheaper.

I wanted a lot of people to enjoy a NY top Italian chef's recipe.Please pat the moisture out of the basil well, because the sauce will go bad faster if you don't.This sauce is from Genoa, the capital of Liguria in Italy. It can be arranged into lots of dishes other than pasta. Recipe by MeguBroaden
