Basil

What kind of basil do you use? Here I have only a basil with small leafs. The one you used had huge leafs!

RE: Basil

It was Italian basil and I believe we shot this video near the end of summer when the leaves were quite large. Small is fine - they'll be super tender. You'll just need more of them :)

nuts

Great with walnuts also, especially where I live pine nuts are up to 18.99lb,. wiss i could grow them.

Other greens to try

Adding rocket with your basil also adds at little more bite. I'm new to Rouxbe and haven't tried this method to make pesto but I have included rocket with basil in the past. I love the taste of rocket and this can add a different edge to the traditional basil.

Sensational !

I've just made my first pesto the Rouxbe way and it is sensational. I had lots of fresh basil from my little herb garden (here in Brisbane Australia) and love pesto. I will be having pesto pasta for dinner. Love it!
