I just made your pesto with freshly harvested basil from my garden. What an absolute treat!! Loved all the tips and different choices for ingredients.

Ciao tutti!
I appreciate Davide’s purist input on Pesto, (maybe of fantastic olive oil family!) but I have learned over many years of making Kate’s recipes that she very carefully experiments and tests with quantities and ingredients before publishing a recipe. She is a marvel! (I am first generation Italian, mother was from province of Pisa) so I feel I can write this! Thank you Kate for your wonderful recipes!!

Absolutely delicious! I like adding sauteed shrimp and asparagus at the end. My family loves it, too!

Hi Kate,

Love your recipes. Been using them for a couple of years now. Can you also add some vegetarian protein substitutes we can use to boost the protein intake, especially in lunch or dinner recipes? Keep up the good work!

In reply to Joy Carrier. Yes, that would work.

I’m not a big fan of Parmesan, would Romano cheese be a good substitute?

So delicious! I had garden basil and pumpkin seeds and linguini. A keeper recipe from one of my go too sites

I’ve made homemade pesto several times in the past from recipe sources that I trust, but for some reason the results have been underwhelming. This, on the other hand, turned out GREAT. I found the flavors and textures to all be in balance, and the ratio of pesto to pasta was perfect (might sound like a basic thing, but sometimes I can’t seem to get it right). I’m going to see if I have enough late-season basil hanging on to make another batch!
