The Ultimate Fresh Summer Pasta ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ… with Basil, Tomatoes, Almonds (Trapanese)

1.1K views on YouTube

A fresh and easy Pesto Pasta from Sicily that you need to try! “Pesto alla Trapanese” has conquered pesto lovers everywhere. In this video, Flavia Diamante shows us how to prepare a fresh basil pesto with almonds, mature tomatoes, garlic and olive oil. She’ll do it all with a mortar and pestle (the traditional way) but she’ won’t call the Sicilian police if you want to use an immersion blender.

๐Ÿง„๐Ÿ… Team Mortar and Pestle or Team Blender?

๐Ÿ’ฅ If you have always loved basil pesto but don’t love the cost of pine nuts, this pesto with almonds and fresh tomatoes is a delicious economic alternative. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ…

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ Can’t find the traditional ‘busiate’ pasta? No problem, use any ‘corkscrew’ pasta like fusilli or trofie… or just your favorite pasta.

โš ๏ธ Just beware: The flavor is WAY more intense when this pesto is prepared with a mortar and pestle. Why? The mortar and pestle lets you press the essential oils and flavors from the ingredients, while a blender or food processor just ‘minces’ (even if it minces well). The result is a big difference in flavor. ๐Ÿ˜
