Il pesto pronto per condire.
Il pesto alla genovese, pesto di basilico mi raccomando,è una salsa che va semplicemente aggiunta alla pasta e non saltata in padella. Ebbene sì: mi è capitato, e devo dire anche non così raramente come potreste pensare, di vederlo saltare in padella assieme alla pasta e uscire un disastro.
Per cui ricordate: si appoggia semplicemente sulla pasta e poi si mescola delicatamente!

La ricetta, se vi interessa, è here.

Un bel piatto di fusilli al pesto alla genovese

Fusilli al pesto alla genovese

Un bel piatto di fusilli al pesto alla genovese.
Non proprio la mia pasta classica da condire con il pesto genovese ma comunque ottimi perché la salsa si ferma abbondantemente tra le sue spire.
Il pesto purtroppo era un pochino troppo liquido e ho dovuto aggiungere un po’ troppo formaggio grattugiato.
La foto e il piatto era comunque buona.

Pesto genovese fresco

Pesto genovese fresco

Pesto genovese fresco.
Il pesto è una delle salse con cui condire la pasta più usate al mondo.
Addirittura, se non sbaglio, è la seconda salsa più usata dopo quella di pomodoro.
Abitando io in Liguria, ovviamente, lo faccio sempre fresco a casa. Per questioni di tempo non uso mai il mortaio in pietra (che pure ho in casa, come quasi tutti i liguri) ma, non vi scandalizzate, il frullatore.
Non sarà fatto nella maniera più sana e corretta ma il risultato, vi assicuro, è eccezionale ugualmente.

Ho talmente tanti post su questa sul pesto genovese fresco che vi linko un altro bel article, scritto da Loris, su come si fa questa salsa.

Artistic Pesto Spaghetti at Home

Spaghetti al pesto artistici

Artistic spaghetti with pesto.
Perhaps the title may seem a little exaggerated but in my opinion this dish has something artistic about it.
One of the most classic dishes of Liguria, one of the most well-known (and imitated) in the world.
In this very soft shot, the freshly drained spaghetti are wrapped (cold, mind you) in this green sauce that will cover the surfaces in a few minutes.

There are so many posts on this site about Genoese pesto but I don't think I've mentioned one with artistic spaghetti al pesto. I'll link you to another nice article, written by Loris, on how to prepare this sauce. For what types of pasta to use, all you have to do is scroll down the page and consult the linked articles and you'll see that I suggest at least ten.

Gnocchi with basil pesto

Gnocchi al pesto di basilico

Gnocchi with basil pesto.
They are one of the most classic pasta dishes of Ligurian cuisine and I like them very much.
The gnocchi are made of potatoes and are bought (semi-fresh although it is not difficult to make them at home) while the pesto is strictly made at home. I specified basil in the title because on the net you can find many dishes seasoned with pesto which is anything but made with basil.

There are already several posts on the site with this sauce, although perhaps few, as beautiful, as gnocchi with basil pesto. Here, you can find the recipe written by Loris (my dad). The gnocchi, as I already wrote, were semi-fresh produced by Pastificio Novella of Sori. I am pleased to mention the pasta factory which is one of the excellences of our territory of Eastern Liguria.

The first example was, in Roman times, the Moretum, described by Virgil. The first recipe for pesto dates back to the nineteenth century, although it certainly owes its origins to older pounded sauces such as the agliata (a Ligurian version of the classic agliata), made with garlic and walnuts, popular in Liguria during the maritime republic of Genoa, and the French pistou.

Finally home after four months away. Finally the favorite dishes that I missed so much, especially during the last difficult month, are back, especially in the last difficult month.
Even though I am in self-isolation and my parents manage to pass me food with some difficulty (they leave it outside the door to avoid contact), my favorite dishes are never missing.
Today spaghetti with pesto. Mom prepared the sauce, I did the rest (how hard it is to put the water on, you will say…)!

The Ligurian sauce par excellence, one of the most famous in the world, with spaghetti.
It is not the most famous type of pasta that is used to accompany (even more classic are trenette, corsetti, trofie or mandilli) but they are equally good.
I tried to create a somewhat special photo for this truly exceptional dish.

On Amazon you can find several books and recipes on this dish and I suggest some: Pesto. Tradition and future or Pesto & quick dressings. I also suggest other books on Genoese cuisine in general: The real Genoese cuisine. Easy and cheap., The cuisine of the Genoese. History and recipes or True Genoese cuisine: cooking gems 3.

Pesto is obtained by crushing (mixing under pressure) basil with salt, pine nuts and garlic, all seasoned with parmesan, fiore sardo and extra virgin olive oil. It is therefore a raw sauce, or a compound in which the ingredients are mixed cold, not cooked. For this characteristic the ingredients do not lose their original organoleptic characteristics.

This is my favorite dish at home, I think ever.
Homemade Genoese pesto (made by my mother) and fresh potato gnocchi (practically fresh because they come from the pasta factory).
This shot has everything of this typical Genoese dish: taste, color and tradition!

Forse la pasta che preferisco. L’ottimo pesto alla genovese con una spolverata di formaggio grattugiato.
Questo piatto l’ho gustato ieri sera da Turin (la recensione su TripAdvisor), a Sestri Levante e devo dire che non era per niente male.
Porzione abbondante e pesto molto buono.
Ve lo consiglio se siete in centro a Sestri Levante, anche in inverno!

Il pesto si ottiene pestando (mescolando a pressione) il basilico con il sale, i pinoli e l’aglio, il tutto condito con parmigiano, Fiore Sardo e olio extravergine di oliva. Si tratta quindi di una salsa a crudo, ovvero un composto nel quale gli ingredienti sono amalgamati a freddo, non cotti. Per questa caratteristica gli ingredienti non perdono le proprie caratteristiche organolettiche originarie.

Fish ravioli with pesto

Ravioli di pesce con pesto

Fish ravioli with pesto.
First time ever that I tasted this type of dish because I normally don't mix the two flavors.
Usually, or at least until now, I have always eaten fish ravioli with fish sauce and pesto with non-filled pasta.
A few nights ago, at the good Sestrese restaurant Delfino Bianco (I can't find an official website, I'll leave you the link at Tripadvisor), I tasted this dish and I must say that it satisfied my palate.
Obviously, for my tastes, perhaps at least double would have been needed but you know that with the fish ravioli, at least in my area, the dishes are of the gourmet-tasting type.

Ravioli are a typical product of Italian cuisine. They can be described as squares or rounds of egg pasta folded to contain a filling of meat, fish, vegetables or cheese, depending on the various local recipes. The ravioli can be served in broth or dry accompanied by sauces or gravies. The choice also depends on the type of filling.
