Still got lots of sweet basil growing in the garden, so I'm making a batch of this Basil Walnut Pesto for all kinds of applications. Goes without saying on pasta, but it's also delicious whipped into butter and cream cheese, mixed with hummus or mayo, as a pizza spread, and also as a base for delicious salad dressing.You can use other nuts (pine nuts, obviously), but almonds, cashews, and pecans are also delicious.

I was given basil leaves and wanted to make something with them.If you replace the walnuts with pine nuts in this recipe, you'll get classic pesto. Recipe by uzukaji.

This is basically only made with flour, but has a lot of eggs for a chewy texture! Children also have fun making these noodles. It takes some work, but it's definitely worth it! You can also mix these noodles with a shrimp wine sauce, grilled chicken, etc.Knead well until the dough becomes elastic. The amount of flour used when rolling out the dough is really important. If you leave the dough overnight, take it out of the refrigerator early so that it can return to room temperature before rolling it out. Recipe by Jay to Gon

Basil pesto x cashew nuts

Because the basil was abundant outside and the fall is approaching, it was time to make pesto and pasta for that matter.

This is one of my favourite pasta dishes. I always make it when I'm stocked up on fresh basil.I recommend making the sauce from scratch if you have some fresh basil to hand. Recipe by Maria358

Looking to enhance the flavor of chicken/seafood with a paleo flair. Enjoy!

The basil pasta I had at a restaurant was delicious, so I tried making it at home using home-grown basil leaves to make the sauce!Using thick cuts of bacon and basil sauce that doesn't contain pine nuts is only my preference.You can do other preparations while the pasta is boiling. Don't forget to set aside 100 ml of the pasta water!I recommend thick cuts of bacon, cut into sticks for a nice texture.Fresh basil leaves are great for a garnish! Recipe by Hamumaki

I bought some fresh basil from a farmer and made some basil pesto so I wanted to try it in a pasta dish.I recommend using flavorful Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. The cheese is sold in blocks, but the fragrance comes out once you grate it. Recipe by KiwieKiwie

We make a lot of basil every year. Upon harvesting it, I make this sauce.I used to make this with pine nuts, but I wasn't able to buy them in time, so I used walnuts as a replacement. I gradually phased out the pine nuts and now only use walnuts.It's just as delicious, and cheaper, so now I make it with walnuts.Lightly roast the walnuts beforehand, taking care not to burn them. Let them cool.This can also be frozen. I put a little into a small container and froze batches.Thaw out the amount you plan to use, and use it as quickly as possible.After thawing be sure to put it back in the freezer. Recipe by putimiko

I wanted to make basil pesto using fresh aromatic basil direct from a farmer.Dry-roasting nuts gives extra flavour. You can divide it up into small portions and store in the freezer. If you store in the fridge for a while, keep only portions you will use. Flatten the surface and pour the olive oil on it to avoid any discolouring.If you leave some nuts chunks when you use the food processor, you can also enjoy the nutty texture. Recipe by KiwieKiwie

A sophisticated and refreshing chilled pasta dish that's perfect for hot days.Instead of walnuts, add cherry tomatoes, avocado, asparagus, shrimp, etc.If you don't have any cream cheese, use grated cheese instead. Recipe by Natsumi
