Basil Pesto with Almonds

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a classic Italian recipe: pesto. I usually use almonds or walnuts because I don't always have pine nuts on hand, and since they're expensive, I prefer to use another type of nut. Today I used almonds—the result is always excellent, give it a try and see for yourself!

Amo cucinare qualsiasi pietanza, mi piace creare e sperimentare, a dire il vero ho fatto grandi casini in passato.. ma l'esperienza premia e adesso i risultati mi sorprendono sempre e, cosa che mi fa più piacere, sorprendono gli altri. Cucino per me e per la mia famiglia piatti leggeri, light.. ma non ci facciamo mancare qualche strappo alla regola.. magari il sabato sera o invitando qualche amico.. soprattutto parlando di dolci, che adoriamo fare e soprattutto mangiare 😋😋😋😋😋.. se vi fa piacere seguitemi nella mia cucina e divertiamoci insieme 👩🏻‍🍳🤩😍❤💙❤🌻!
