My coworker, knowing that I've been cooking more lately, brought me some spices today, including a pesto mix. Now my whole office smells like pesto, and it's making me REALLY hungry!! Can't wait to try this mix in a little olive oil and butter over my ravioli!

One of the main reasons I want my own blender is to make my own pesto."Eventually, everything that you have said becomes everything you will ever say." Eireann

<quashes the Inner Italian back into her box> Heh, sorry, tend to go babbly and crazy when discussing Italian type foods I make all the time. Sorry if that seemed lecturing in anyway, not the intent at all, i swear!

Quoth lupo pazzesco View PostFood processor is better for pesto, hands down (speaking from years of personal experience and watching my grandpa go through countless blenders...) Unless you've got a high end blender, like a Vita Mix, it's going to crap out really quickly grinding down pine nuts for pesto. Blenders are generally better for liquid foods, like pureeing soups, and food processors do better with solids. Or better, yet get a blender that has a food processor attachment.

Oh good! Glad it isn't too over the top! My grandpa (papa on my mom's side) lived in Italy most of his life, and immigrated over (He was in Sicily at the time, I believe). As a result, sweet gods help me if I use sauce from a jar and he finds out! And making lasagna or pizza without making my own dough? Grounds for being disowned right there.
I learned a lot about cooking from him, but at the same time, it's made me kind of picky about store bought sauces (although Muir Glen is pretty tasty for canned tomatoes/sauces...). I usually make a big batch of red sauce and freeze it. Alfredo doesn't freeze well, but pesto freezes beautifully!

Sometimes when I'm feeling weird, I put Pesto in the breadmaker and make Pesto Bread with it. You'd just reduce the oil content, because of the Pesto...but damn that's good good bread.In my heart, in my soul, I'm a woman for rock & roll.
