To those Italians saying basil only, tell them to visit Sicily where various types of pesto exist with different ingredients

JB :
I think you meant to say Italian Americans. Pesto just means "to crush" and what they think of pesto is actually very specifically "basil pesto". Any actual Italian knows this.

Only pesto alla genovese is made with basil only. We make all kinds of other pesto here in Italy. My favorite is my Nonna’s Sicilian pesto with sun dried tomatoes, almonds, capers, black olives, garlic and olive oil.

I wish Italians understood they didn’t have any of these dishes without experimenting. No doubt many of the things they have today pissed off the people at the time, because someone dared to explore with ingredients.

"Your" way seems nice, what I don't understand is the disrespectful comment to another culture calling it "bs"

Walnuts taste really good in place of pine nuts and are a fraction of the price!

Michelino :
I'm an Italian Italian and yes we make all kinds of pesto. However there is a very noticeable difference in texture, taste, and aroma when you use the traditional mortar and pestle.

There are literally dozens of pestos in Italy… rucola, zucchini, pistacchi, melanzane, mandorle, barbabietole, broccoli, pomodori secchi, mamma mia. I don’t understand the hate. Source: I live in Italy. Download the Italian cooking app Giallo Zafferano (change your country to Italy in setting to do this) and get authentic recipes. Yes, you’ll have to translate them

You’re talking to American (include Canadian) Italians. I’ve seen them make pesto from black Kale. Pesto refers to pounding as in a pestle and mortar.

Executive chef of an Italian restaurant and this is essentially my exact recipe. Everytime I run a pesto special people beg for it to be on the menu.

Definitely not Pesto. you may want to call it something else. You are allowed to name your own recipes. Looks delicious by the way.
