This incredible pesto, also from gorgeous Liguria, is the variant you didn’t know you needed to fulfil your (gut’s) life! The traditional version contains walnuts, parmigiano Reggiano, extra virgin olive oil, milk and pine nuts. My version is simpler and maybe a bit lighter 😀 you just need three main ingredients!
Because it’s so simple to make, the quality of the ingredients is important. I always try to use fresh walnuts (supermarket ones are fine but make sure to use a new pack), a good quality extra virgin olive oil and freshly grated parmigiano Reggiano.
This ‘raw’ sauce (no cooking involved) can easily be prepared while the pasta cooks. It works very well with every pasta shape. Instead of the milk, I use the pasta cooking water to dilute the sauce. In this way you can also adjust it to the creaminess you want!
If you feel like experimenting, you can swap walnuts with other nuts – also nut mixes! 😉 the best part about this easy, delicious pesto is that you can make a big batch and freeze it! Ready to make this rich, mouthwatering, dreaming pasta sauce? 😀
