The best part – you really can use any leafy green you want to! Traditional pesto is made with basil so you can definitely go that route.Leafy Greens Pesto Yield: 1 – 1¼ cup Quite possibly the most versatile pesto ever, this simple recipe will make delicious use out of a variety of healthy greens and.To make pesto without basil, simply swap out the required amount of basil and replace with another leafy green.

Oh, and if like me you don’t often use a food processor or you prefer to make your pesto by hand, the traditional Italian way, then you need a largish pestle and mortar too.
Add the fresh basil, diced garlic, lemon zest, and parmesan cheese to the bowl of a large food processor. Process at medium speed until it starts to resemble a paste, about 60-90 seconds. Add half of the fresh lemon juice and 1/4 cup olive oil. Process until the mixture is evenly combined.
Leafy greens pesto using spinach, arugula, and/or watercress is a lighter, greener sauce for pasta, potatoes, and more. I’ve always preferred pesto sauce that combines herbs with spinach or other leafy greens to basil-only pesto, which can be overpowering. Another downside is that it turns brown all too quickly.
Preparation. 1. In a food processor, combine the walnuts, garlic, arugula, Parmesan, and 1 tsp salt and pulse to blend. With the machine running, pour in the olive oil through the.Put the basil, cheese, and garlic in your food processor.
Set the speed to low and drizzle in your olive oil. Start with 1/4 cup, check the consistency, and add more if you like. I normally add the full 1/2 cup, because I like my pesto to be more runny.With an abundance of fragrant basil, there is nothing better than whipping up a quick batch of nut free pesto.

Cook the pine nuts until golden, shaking occasionally. Put into a food processor with the basil, parmesan, olive oil and garlic.This pesto has many of the same ingredients as a traditional basil pesto: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, garlic, olive oil and nuts.
Because of their pungent, peppery flavor, I suggest using mild, sweet nuts such as almonds, macadamia or pistachios. If.

Hi, great recipe:) could I make a bigger amount and freeze it? Thanks for reply.
Sorry, but that little bit of vinegar will do nothing at all. Vinegar is already much ‘diluted’ from its base acetic acid; adding a tiny dash like that won’t achieve anything at all. Also, there is no differences in salts sodium chloride. ‘Himalayan’ is the same as common table salt, it’s all sodium chloride. The only reason some prefer differing salts is when you are eating the salt itself, whole. This is because the shape of the crystals make a taste difference in the mouth much like grated cheese does instead of a lump of cheese. When you add salt to a recipe where it gets mashed up then ALL salts are the same, every single one. No one could taste any difference. Any chef who tells you otherwise isn’t a chef with a science degree!
How do you keep your basil plants so vibrant. Mine always die:-(
Just made this and it was REALLY good! I added a little bit of olive oil for texture. Thanks for the recipe this will be my go-to!!
This is such a brilliant recipe. I’ve been looking for a pesto recipe which doesn’t contain nuts as I am allergic to nuts. I wanted to ask do we have to put cheese in the pesto or can it be optional and if we do need to put cheese can we use cheddar cheese instead or parmesan cheese.
Can you get pine nuts in Japan? They grow them in China and Korea but I don’t know about Japan.
Do you have a garden outside your apartment? That basil looked nice and healthy.
Hi, thanks for sharing.. but, can I use any vegetable oil or coconut oil?
May i know your the capacity of gour kitchenaid chopoer? the 3.5 or 5 cups one?
I LOVE the pesto genovese but I’ve been a victim of dogmatism! I didn’t know you can replace pine nuts with any nuts! I’ll definitely try your recipe. Thanks!
日本ではペーストと伸びるから認識されてないだけでしょ?
私もバジルペースト作りますがナッツの代わりに松の実を、そしてパルミジャーノチーズを入れる事ですかね
このペーストはいろいろ使えていいですよね。
oh i just tried it on my buffalo chicken sandwich…Mmmmmm its great! thanks for the recipe…
I love this,its so hard to find oil free and nut free replacements of my favourite foods.i love savory.it great with lentil pasta with broccoli florets,asparagus, red kidney beans,mushrooms and red onion.which i just ate and is packed with useful nutrition.
Oh I answered wrong on your insta! I said swiss chard and green beans instead of peas and kale:P Looks perfect though!
I have been waiting for this video I have nut allergy and no one ever does a nut free pesto this is great! I didn’t just get internet but its funny what you chose to search and what you don’t!
Omg your power house pesto recipe looks amazing!! I love your editing in this video babe!! Those 4 green veggies are literally my favourite! You always find the prettiest pasta shapes! Looks so stunning!
It’s pronounced ‘baz-il’ not ‘bay-zil’. There is no letter Y in it.
This was excellent!!! Everybody loved it. We had it on gnocchi. Thank you
Thank you so much for this video, I was looking for a substitute to pine nuts and you made that happen.. thanks!
Thanks for the recepie…..
I have a quick question, how many days I can store the pesto in refrigerator??
Thank you very much for this recipe. From now on this is definitely on my pasta list. I was astonished that, though the amount of olive oil is surprisingly small, the result is a pleasent mix of thickness and smoothness. Obviously, the pasta and the pesto coalesce perfectly. Did you also try this recipe by adding some pine nuts? I always thought that a “real” pesto needs both, olive oil AND pine nuts… Nevertheless, this should not disparage your efforts. The pasta bowl at the end of the video looks just like the image for the cover of a recipe book. So good! Thanks again and kind regards! Looking forward for your next creation.
Pesto alla Genovese original recipe
100 gr. strictly Ligurian basil leaves
40 gr. pine nuts
100 gr. grated Parmesan cheese (or grana padano)
20 gr. pecorino
100 gr. extra virgin olive oil from the Ligurian Riviera
1 or 2 cloves of garlic
6 g coarse sea salt
Could i add avocadoinstead of the cheese? Thank you for sharing.
You had me at the pea’s
Yum!
Thanks for the recipe! Going to make this tomorrow!
Does it matter how thinly grated the parmesan is? My roommate and I purchased a 24 oz bottle of kraft grated parmesan at the store about a week ago and haven’t opened it yet. The parmesan in the bottle is almost powder like, so I was wondering if it would still work.
I tried this and it was good but it gave me the galloping trots!
Wow is that all you millenniums do is eat so much and make video on how to cook and eat so much so boring. Why not make a video on how women should learn to stop omg fake af
looks sooo delicious! I wonder if it’d be good to add some sun dried tomatoes too? more vegan food please <3
This video was equally adorable and informative
I’m now craving pesto pasta and my boyfriend
I planted basil, peppers, and mint, the bugs in Saitama destroyed my plants.
I could literally eat Pesto everyday, on everything but dessert!
Himalayan Sea Salt, t
hat’s a good one. Himalaya Is nowhere near the sea(Mt Everest) lol some people are as dumb as a sack full of hammers!!
Thank you for the vid! I didn’t have Basil on hand and was lazy to go out and buy some, so I replaced it with Arugula leaves.
The perfect recipe, less oil and more greens, love it. Scraping everything in without leaving half the recipe for the sink, well done.
I love it. Especially without the nuts. This is one of the best I have seen. I’m tried it this week. Thanks..
I’m so glad someone made a nut free recipe! I’ve been looking for a nut free pesto to try with my veggie pasta and this looks perfect! I am allergic to dairy as well would it taste good still without the cheese? Or with maybe just half a cup of cheese? I can have a little bit of dairy but too much gives me a bad stomach ache. Thank you!
Thanks for the recipe, this is just what I was looking for:)
Why are pine nuts bad for intestinal health? I thought they are very delicious and nutritious.
This is such a good recipe because my family doesn’t’ like nuts but love pesto thanks for the recipe
Pesto has always seemed so strong to me, but maybe I need to try it with chicken, like you say, or some of the other uses! Nice to see you don’t just have to use pine nuts! I’ll have to try this. (It looks like matcha!)
LOL ryosuke be like “that’s loud….” his cooking is silent like a ninja
It looks amazing!!!! I was always sad that the pesto in japan has cheese inside. I’m really gonna try it! ありがとう!
Are the peas supposed to be cooked? I mean, when they’re sold frozen, are they frozen uncooked or cooked? Because if they’re uncooked wouldn’t they be hard? Sorry for the confusion:D
What is Himalayan Sea salt? is that even possible? Himalaya is the name of a Mountain range in Asia where i live and there is no Sea in the Himalaya? As far as I am aware of.
Awesome can we use ordinary salt too does it make any difference ty
Wow this is beautiful! Goes perfectly with noodles or pita bread! Thank you so much for sharing, Franchesca! ❤
I’m sure this pesto is delicious, but please tell me, if I make a larger quantity, how long can I keep it???
Thanks for the recipe! Sincerely, Mihai from Romania.
My apologies on my comment. Take care and I will give your recipe a go.
Do you ever add nutritional yeast to give it the “cheese” flavor pesto has?
Hi.. I just made it.. I love it.. very simple..ready to make with spaghetti.
If using garlic paste how much do i use. Great video thanks for sharing blessings
Looks so yummy! My sister makes zucchini noodles and serves them with pesto, but I don’t think her pesto is from scratch so now I want to to give your recipe a try!
Never thought to soak basil in vinegar water to kill bacteria. I just rinse in water and eat…thanks for the tip!!!
One italian secret to make your pesto really really tasty. Try to add parmesan to your pesto. Here in Italy Pesto is made with parmesan every time. Even the Supermarket here in Italy they add parmesan. and we add pine nuts, not walnuts! Try it out, let me know how it is!:)
ありがとございました、Grace-先生!^_^ I think will go to the farmer’s market and get some basil and make yummy pesto. It’s interesting that ペスト in Japanese is plague. I guess it shows that things can sometimes seem similar across languages, but they’re really not, so you have to be careful. But anyway, thanks again!:)
do seeds count as nuts?? could you substitute sunflower seeds/pumpkin seeds/etc??
Man, that nutritional yeast costs a lot here in Italy! How much do you guys in the United States pay for it??
My aunt uses cashews! I ate this for the first time in my life when I was at her house. She’s a vegan so she knows all kinds of recipes like this.
I want some now
There are btw many different kinds of Pesto/Pesti. There are red, orange and green ones. This version is called “Pesto al la Genovese” ^^
Natalie, I agree completely with the person who called you a genius! I just had your pesto over some zoodles for lunch and oh my gosh! Tasted so rich and calorie dense but it is so healthy and I am so grateful to you for creating this delicious recipe which I I’m definitely going to make again!
Thank you. Very good demo. Can you pl. uploaded tahini recipe and aubergine sauce or spread recipe
Mardell…let me guess…you’re not Italian…That grated parmesean cheese was store bought already grated? Don’t use that. There’s a chemical they add so the cheese doesn’t clump. Buy a wedge and grate it yourself. Add more oil on top of the basil leaves so your machine has enough lubrication to do its work from the beginning.
I have never found a pesto recipe that isnt extremely high in fat, I will need to try this one!
would it be different it i use dried basil?? i don’t have fresh basil on hand and its hard for me to get
And there are several varieties of basil to choose from.
If you like, you can add a little bit of oregano.
Pesto without nuts is like doing a blowjob while you are dishydratated
The weird feeling of globalization you get as a German, when you watch videos of a Texan girl, living in Japan, married to a Japanese, who wants to be Captain America and you realize that you have EXACTLY the same blender as they have.
(But I don´t use it for making my pesto, because obviously I´m too sophisticatered.)
You guys should make a cookbook comic with all your awesome creations. I watch your videos half the time to see what you are going to be eating/making.
Can parmesan cheese be substitued…its not easily available where i live…please let me know
Nice! I don’t understand why people put cheese in pesto. It’s so tasty all on its own.:D:D
Hi!!! (Waving) I’m a vegan in Texas. Loving your channel:))
Best pesto ever! Everyone please try this recipe I had it today with quinoa and mushrooms. SOOOOO GOOD!:D
I am genuinely curious. What is the price of pine nuts in Japan? I know their price has jumped here in the states by quite a bit. What are the most reasonably priced nuts in Japan? Any pecan or walnut trees there? Also, can Parmesan be found in the grocers? Am curious if the vegan version is what your family eats, or if they add cheese. Love the mean of pesto in Nihongo. You’ve got me hungry for my pesto now, and it’s far from traditional!
here in italy (genova, where pesto was invented and still is their signature food) we use basil, garlic, olive oil, salt, pinecone seeds, LOTS of grated parmesan cheese and we process it by hand, never in a blender. we use some sort of knife made in the shape of a half moon with one handle on each side and mince leaves and garlic together, then add them into a bowl with whole pinecone seeds, oil, salt and parmesan cheese and stir. it must not be liquid or creamy. we only use it on pasta, no other use (no sandwiches, pizza or other things). you can put it in a jar in the fridge and as long as there’s a thin layer of oil covering the sauce it’ll keep for several weeks. make sure to add oil to the jar after every use and clean the lid, it will preserve the sauce longer. in genova we sometimes add little boiled potato cubes to pasta with pesto (potatoes must be soft, almost melting)
Yes!!!! Thank you so much! I finally found a good homemade oil free sauce/dressing recipe. You are a genius. I had to come back to tell you that this is amazing. I was honestly was not expecting it to be this good…cant believe it’s fat free.
Currently licking my blender lol.
Pesto is on the menu for our dinner tonight. It’s perfect for today! ☘ Plus It’s one of our favorites. I’ll have to try this recipe soon! Thank you
sorry to interrupt but, as an italian, i have to intervene. There are two types of pesto, the most common one is “pesto alla genovese” (Genova is a city in northern Italy where the original receipe comes from) and is made with pine nuts alone (no walnuts or pecans) while the least known in italian cuisine is “pesto alla siciliana” (from Sicily, obviously) that includes ricotta cheese, tomatos etc. There are also local varieties of pesto but we don’t care. A hint: grind the pine nuts extremely fine but before serving the dish put a handful of very coarse grinded pine nuts inside. 頂きます!
I really like your recipe idea; yes to the nutrional yeast and high fiber from peas. Pesto means mortar and pestle and so I am going to try it with walnuts; but I really like the idea of a smooth consistency that can also be used as a dip for veggies. Big thumbs up!! Will try it now. Tx!!!
I loved this recipe it was delicious!! thank you a bunch for this video. tried some lime juice also, gave it an extra kick!
Nicely done! I think you inspired your mom and I to have pesto for dinner tonight! Too bad we don’t have the nice Italian basil you had in your garden. All I seem to be able to grow is Thai basil but even so, your mom can make it taste amazing.
No nut pesto is good, I suppose. If you can’t find pine nuts and you still want to make the recipe, make w/o the nuts like Mardell, but you can also use sunflower seeds instead of pine nuts which when I last checked was $17.99 per pound. Sunflower seeds is $7.99 a pound and more economical.
Using soybeans helps give a nice buttery texture and taste instead of nuts if you want it low fat
Have you tried your pesto with any Japanese dishes? Wonder what it would taste like with rice.
Looks so easy to make. It almost inspires me to have an herb garden, but the heat here often burns things up.
You should try adding lemon juice to it:D I love lemon juice, so I put quite a bit, but a half to one lemon should be enough:) It adds a wonderful acidity to it which is a great combination with the nuts for some reason:) Walnuts work great instead of pine nuts, but I haven’t tried pecans though.
りょうちゃんさん、日本語字幕ありがとうございます!お二人の日常が見れてファンとしてすごくうれしいです!これからも頑張ってください!!グレイスさん、暑いのでお体に気を付けてください! 浪人生より。
Hi friends!! Hope you enjoyed this quick and easy recipe. Are you like the healthier recipes! Do you want more? Hope you all are doing well. Thank you so much for watching xoxo
PS these are just some of the benefits of all these amazing green veggies of course there are a million more
This was a great alternative to sunflower seeds or any nuts! I did make it somewhat high fat by adding in half of an avocado and some olive oil, but the peas really added the consistency I wanted! Thank you!
If you put the garlic in the microwave for 10 seconds it makes it easier to peel…..I can’t wait to try to make this.
Since my fiance is allergic to nuts, I often sub in sunflower seeds for the nuts and they seem to work well… for anyone else with a nut allergy:)
Grace, take the garlic cloves and put them in a jar with a lid, shake hard, that will take the peels off, before you crush it.
Time to plant some basil on my balcony and go buy a blender! Did you plant your basil from seed or did you find it at Homes, or another local garden shop?
Pesto on a toasted roll, with some melted mozzarella and tomatoes. Yummy.
Literally all of your recipes look amazing!! I’m not a huge pesto fan either but I may have to try this out!
0:18 if you’re nuts are a little bit rancid, throw them out and buy fresh ones.
Thanks for sharing this recipe! I’m excited to try it asap
Grace, you have got a wonderful eye colour, just like the colour of ice:)
You are the first person where I find the colour so intensively icy.
Hi Grace, just a tip for the pesto, it’ll last longer in the fridge if you put some olive oil in the jar once it’s set. Not much though, just a thin layer to cover the exposed sauce from reacting with the air.
If you want to have a nuttier flavor add sunflower seeds! Still safe for most people with nut allergies and adds some protein too
thank you so much. could we use the stem too!? would that taste good?
I love you guys! It’s always a pleasure to watch a new video from you, whatever it may be. <3
Just curious… why did you move to the floor with the blender?
I’m so jealous of your basil plants!! every time I try to grow it, it dies!! (I garden all kinds of fruits, veggies, herbs, and berries, but BASIL UGH!)
This would be delicious with pasta. Yum. Thank you. I hate nuts in Pesto.
Can I make this without Parmesan? And use some other cheese like Mozzarella, or not use cheese at all?
If there are no gluten, the water of your pasta will not do any binding!
Hi! Really enjoy the cooking videos & vlogs! I live in Texas and when I was going to school I studied Japanese. After HS I spent a year living in Seattle. While I was there I was a prep cook & made pesto everyday. I used a food processor so I’m not sure if the tip I have will translate the same to a blender but what I remember doing was blending the pine nuts or, in your case almonds, and garlic first.
Then I would add the leaves next. While it’s blending I would very slowly pour in the olive oil through the top. This is to help with the blending & consistency. Again, not sure if this will help using a blender but I hope this tip helps in some way. Sorry to hear you guys are no longer making videos but totally understand and support your decision not to. Best of luck on your road ahead. Much love from Texas! =)
Amazing recipe!
I made it and it’s very tasty especially on Pasta and since I’m not allergic to any nuts i recommend adding 1 spoon of pine nuts it will taste even better
Love your channel…Just wanna give a heads up in your description. I think you are missing a word when you are describing your grandfather making it with your “mom” and I thought 3tsp=1tbsp
Have watched all your vlogs..and as a Chef, I even learn a few things..but pleeeeeaaassseeee stop taste testing your dishes and putting the utensil back into the food…its gross and if I were a friend I would think twice before eating at your place.
Why do you freeze it? both salt and olive oil are preservatives, and there is nothing perishable (unlike in pesto with parmesan)
This is a great video! Thank you for sharing! I would LOVE to see a video sometime about the plants/herbs you grow and how you both cultivate and maintain your garden? It looks splendid and healthy.
Put some Grana Padang Cheese or Parmiggiano Cheese in it if you plan to eat it on hot Spaghetti or noodles
Totally amazing! It’s vibrating an incredible beautiful green! Well done x
Too bad this is not the real recipe, which calls for pine seeds and not pecan, pecorino cheese, parmigiano cheese and no garlic:( Must taste good, but please, do not call it pesto, because your Italian viewers cringe!
Yum! You are making me crave zoodles and fresh pesto at 5am while I’m doing my cardio Jeff I make my vegan pesto with half cashews and half pumpkin or sunflower seeds and sometimes will add nutritional yeast. I find the cashews give it that creamy cheesy texture that real pesto has
Thanks for sharing!
love this! now i only need to find a store which sells nutritional yeast haha
xx
I always struggle to make pesto creamy without tons of fat… Luv the peas idea. Gonna try it as soon as I can buy some basil! Thnx for the vid.
I’m the opposite. I’m very good at savoury recipes, but baking and sweet recipes, I totally suck at!
Your grandfather is Italian? Yaaay!
Greetings from Italy Grace:*
I cannot wait to try this!!!
Pesto/basil is one of my absolute favorites. This would’ve been perfect for St. Paddy’s Day!
Also, thank you for mentioning Follow Your Heart. Their mayo is the only one I buy and they seem like a really good company. I have been looking for some good vegan parm, so give theirs a try no that I know they make it.
I hope you’ve had a good day.:)
what is I used edamame instead of peas. I think it would have a richer flavor
Looks great and it’s great for people with nut allergies, BUT I’m sorry….olive oil, while it’s good for anointing, is NOT good for the inners of our temples. (but I’m still going to try this) ; D
