This year I finally managed to grow a whole plantation of basil so pasta with pesto has become a family must. At home nobody likes the taste of store-bought pesto, but when it comes to homemade pesto everyone answers “present”! And do you know what the main problem was with making homemade pesto? Simple: pine nuts are really expensive! That's why after yet another packet of pine nuts, I thought of replacing them with other nuts — in this case the walnuts I already had at home! The result? A delicious, creamy and delicate pesto with which I dressed some wonderful busiate pasta! Are you also looking for the answer to the question: "how to replace pine nuts in pesto"?
