Why Sicily's Pesto is BETTER

[@lancelotdufrane]

Nice! Old Italian here. Never tire of learning and watching food being beautifully prepared.

[@maries1381]

Can't wait to try this!!!! I've been making fresh pomodoro almost weekly for the last month (with varieties of cherry tomatoes) - sooo good. In lieu of that next week, I will definitely make this! Hubby is allergic to almonds, so I'm thinking pistachios!!!!! Can't wait. Speaking of pistachios - there is a delicious pistachio pesto I have seen being made which I bet is also delicious!!!

[@lisam9233]

I’ve made it with pistachios and it’s delicious!

[@myhappynest6125]

I just made this sauce. Followed directions exactly. I only have a food processor so it took a long time to get the sauce to a smoother consistency. The flavor was delicious. I think I would grind up the almonds before adding next time. Thanks Chef Billy.

[@peoplepeople21]

Yeah he uses a vitamix blender, which is bascially the blender royalty. So it imulsifies stuff really really well

[@jb8801]

This looks interesting! Thank you, Chef, for sharing yet another recipe.

[@lltllt7425]

Amazing. Making this tonight. Thanks. Great teacher too

[@jasonsmith2775]

My absolute, favorite pesto! Great job!

[@thomaskruczek3146]

This is amazing. Wonderful sauce that works well with chicken and even fish. I can’t wait to share this with my foodie friends.

[@Hey-Googootz]

Yesssss...this is Magnifico! Thank you Chef, for showing us how to take this pesto up "ANOTHA- NOTCH"! (as Emeril would say). Cing-cing Ahh-salute' 🥂

[@cosmiccat3295]

Made this, it was incredible. Thanks.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

I Appreciate you trying it! Many thanks!

[@lltllt7425]

Btw- your hummus recipe is amazing too. Making that often.

[@junevertucci3420]

New subscriber here. Looks fab. Good call on the Balsamic!

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Thanks for watching and Thank you so much for the sub!

[@karenhoward1843]

Beautiful Thing! Thanks,Billy

[@thomaskruczek3146]

Grating cheese over parchment; why haven’t I done that before. Thanks Chef for the tip!

[@edwardkornuszko4083]

Thank you. God bless you

[@gabrielafonseca4034]

Will do it! I'm a fresh tomato fan!

[@savagefrieze4675]

Bravo for keeping skins and seeds! Full flavor! And bravo for the balsamic. I like to use a little vinegar with canned tomatoes it seems to me it helps neutralize the canned flavor. Maybe I’m wrong.

[@Theeggfly]

I will be making this asap.

[@TheColorofLight]

Can't wait to make it. Would adding a small amount of chicken be too much?

[@Nel33147]

I never would have suspected there was a tomato 🍅 base in that sauce.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

It’s pretty tasty

[@MaryvelFriesen]

May I ask where did you get your pasta pot? Did that insert basket come with it? Thank you kindly! Can't wait to try these pesto!

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Did not come with the pot. Aff link: amzn.to/4fF7wvp

[@shirleyvastine9328]

Oh my! I need this! Thank you for making in a blender, can regular basil pesto be made this way, too? Will omitting mint ruin it? And my heavens, I hope you did not waste all that goodness still stuck in the blender!😊

[@michellec3100]

Cannot find the garlic recipe😢... Not in the mentioned webpage, at least not easy to find? So I did: 4 heads garlic (cloves separated, peeled) in 1 cup olive oil 2 sprigs rosmary, 1 sage leaf, Into small container (I have a steel one shaped like a mug) 110C into oven for 2 hours.

[@briankillian5248]

Try lemon. It works well.

[@Freedomridingcompany]

Can't wait to try this one! And I'll report back.

[@ohsoleohmio]

can anyone explain how the colour is so yellow after using so many tomatoes and basil leaves ?

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Incorporating air when blending, also the addition of white cheese and olive oil

[@colin1259]

I belive i heard something once about not using ilive oil in a blender, because it turns it bitter? Any truth to that?

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Never heard of that. I'll have to look into it.

[@foodisgood17]

Came here to ask this

[@michellec3100]

Hand whisk it in at the end, it's already smooth anyway. Or very short, very very short just to mix it, if speed can be adjusted liked his, low speed. Shoud be ok. I make mayo in a blender and it yes, is more bitter than hand whisked. But sometimes I actually like a bit bitter, like those rocket salad leaves....

[@BlackJesus8463]

Silicone pad might be better than parchment! 🤪🤪

[@MrAmisto]

Best pesto, use broad bean fresh, no nuts needed.

[@MrAmisto]

Whats with the tap before each slice 😂

[@muttcrewmusic]

Nice. But I wonder why you don't just serve basil pesto with fresh chopped cherry tomatoes on top - much prettier and fresher.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Because that’s not the recipe for trapese?

[@muttcrewmusic]

@@ChefBillyParisi Yes, of course. Was more a question about the recipe idea, not how you made it, which did look very nice.

[@augustinawear3639]

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@StacyInLove1]

Pecorino Siciliano

[@talbotcolleen]

If you use canned San Marzano tomatoes, would you still roast them in the oven for 30 minutes or forego thst part of the recipe?

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Not sure how you could do that tbh

[@williamkolina3988]

6 months in the freezer Are you kidding Bow ties Mezzi rigatoni Sauce is gone I never heard of Sicilian pesto Mom was from Napoli

[@iluomobravo]

Nothing ruins Italian food like balsamic vinegar. Shocking!

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Italian food, maybe. Balsamic and tomatoes = perfect match and brings even MORE tomato flavor out.

[@ljrouse5]

Cry about it, or better yet show us your KZbin cooking channel with 660k subscribers 🤡

[@cosmiccat3295]

It tastes better with that splash of balsamic, trust me, and Billy.

[@TheresaHarris-s2w]

😂😂😂

[@TheresaHarris-s2w]

I don't get it... this is not a classical dish but I Know tomatoes and balsamic are a pair.

[@sid3859]

Great Video.Trying this right now actually.Question:after everything all all blended I see you transferring it to another pot, does that pot get heated before the pasta goes in or does itstay as is?

[@ChefBillyParisi]

No, but you can keep it at low heat.

[@sid3859]

@@ChefBillyParisi Thank you!!
