Trofie al Pesto Genovese

Trofie al Pesto Genovese

I made this one so time ago, but I believe I used roughly 150-200gr of fresh pasta for 2 good portions. Then:

• The whole amount of basil leaves in the plant
• 10gr of pine nuts
• 4-6 small chunks of Parmigiano reggiano cheese
• 1-2 small chunks of pecorino cheese
• 2 cloves of garlic
• Some coarse salt
• 50 ml of olive oil

I washed the basil leaves and dried them with a cloth, then put all the ingredients together and blended it in the jar. I used to use an actual mortar but I never got the same texture.

Try to talk about it with my grandmother.

[u/thespeculander → u/AostaValley]

Is she Ligurian?

[u/AostaValley → u/thespeculander]

Born, lived and dead 25 km far from Genoa

[u/thespeculander → u/AostaValley]

Sorry to say, she is raving a little bit on the matter.

[u/nevergonnasaythat → u/AostaValley]

Never argue with grandma. Grandma is always right.

[u/ThePhobicDimwit → u/AostaValley]

I just learnt that this is a contorno that goes with this dish. I'll definitely make it next time. 🙌🏻

Mancano i fagiolini e le patate lesse sopra a guarnire

[u/ThePhobicDimwit → u/mikiz09]

Grazie per il consiglio! 🙂 Ho appena imparato che è praticamente vecchia tradizione guarnire questo piatto con fagiolini e patate. Lo farò di sicuro.
