In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to make homemade pesto with the Bimby. Let’s get started!

What You’ll Need

Before we begin, gather these ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh basil leaves
  • ½ cup pine nuts
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps to make homemade pesto using the Bimby:

  1. Add the basil leaves, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and garlic cloves to the Bimby bowl.
  2. Secure the lid and select the “Chop” function. Process the ingredients until finely chopped.
  3. While the Bimby is still running, gradually pour in the olive oil through the lid’s opening.
  4. Continue processing until the pesto reaches your desired consistency.
  5. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Remember, Parmesan is already salty, so be cautious with the salt.
  6. Transfer the homemade pesto to a jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator.

Tips and Variations

Here are some additional tips and variations to consider:

  • If you prefer a creamier pesto, you can add a spoonful of Greek yogurt or sour cream to the mixture.
  • Feel free to experiment with different nuts like walnuts or almonds for a twist on classic pesto.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the Parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast or a vegan cheese alternative.
