NUT-FREE PESTO
This pesto recipe was handed down from my grandmother. You will notice it has no nuts, which were considered a "filler" in my Italian family. Everyone I serve this to says it's the best. -Mary Jo Galick, Portland, Oregon

Steps:
- Prepare an ice water bath in a large bowl, and bring a large pot of water to a boil. Put the arugula in a large sieve and plunge it into the boiling water. Immediately immerse all the arugula and stir so that it blanches evenly. Blanch for about 15 seconds. Remove, shake off the excess water, then plunge the arugula into the ice water bath and stir again so it cools as fast as possible. Drain well.
- Squeeze the water out of the arugula with your hands until very dry. Roughly chop the arugula and put in a blender. Add the garlic, salt and pepper to taste, olive oil, 2 tablespoons of the pine nuts, and the vitamin C, if using. Blend for at least 30 seconds. In this way the green of the arugula will thoroughly color the oil. Add the cheese and pulse to combine. The pesto will keep several days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
- Pull out before dinner to get to room temperature. Before serving, add the remaining 1 tablespoon toasted pinenuts.
PESTO
Basic pesto, made with basil, olive oil, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese. This recipe differs from the classic preparation by the addition of parsley. You can add a little extra Parmesan to the mixture if you like.

PESTO AND PISTOU
I use pesto and pistou in many other dishes besides pasta. Pesto is a nutritionally dense condiment; basil is a great source of flavonoids that are believed to have antioxidant and antibacterial properties. It's also an excellent source of vitamin K, and a very good source of iron, calcium and vitamin A. Purists will only use a mortar and pestle for pesto. I like the results I get using a hand blender inside a straight-sided jar. As long as you make the full batch, this is the best machine to use, as it purées the basil much more efficiently than a food processor.

Steps:
- If using a hand blender, place the garlic, basil, pine nuts, salt and olive oil in a pint jar. Stick the hand blender right down into the mixture and turn on. Blend until smooth. You may have to start and stop a few times at the beginning, and scrape down the sides of the jar. Once the mixture is smooth, add the cheese and stir or blend together. If using a food processor fitted with the steel blade, turn on and drop in the garlic. When it is chopped and adhering to the sides of the bowl, stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Add the basil, pine nuts, salt, pepper and olive oil to the food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Add the Parmesan and pulse until well combined. If using a mortar and pestle, add the basil leaves a handful at a time and mash with the pestle. Add the pine nuts, garlic, salt and pepper, and mash to a paste with the basil. Work in the olive oil and the Parmesan.

11 BEST PINE NUT SUBSTITUTES FOR PESTO - THE PIONEER WOMAN
From thepioneerwoman.com
- Cashews. Cashews resemble pine nuts in color, texture and mild sweetness, and can be used as a substitute in just about any recipe. Stick to unsalted versions (roasted or raw varieties both work), and toast them to provide extra depth of flavor.
- Pistachios. Stronger in flavor and a touch sweeter, these nuts are also a suitable overall sub. Their naturally green color also enhances the prized hue of a summery pesto.
- Almonds. These are less flavorful than pine nuts, but they work just fine. You can soak almonds overnight to remove their skins—this will also make them softer in texture, more closely resembling pine nuts.
- Walnuts. The thin brown skin is where the bitterness of this nut comes from. Walnuts can be toasted, then cooled, in order to remove their skins, and soaking them overnight results in a creamier, softer consistency.
- Hazelnuts. Similar to the walnut, the skins of the hazelnut hold all the bitter notes, making blanched versions the better sub. These nuts have a strong flavor; they're a solid swap in desserts, especially chocolate ones.
- Pecans. Sweeter than a pine nut, pecans are an ideal substitute in just about any pine nut recipe. They can also be toasted for a more robust flavor. SHOP PIE PLATES.
- Macadamia Nuts. Though an ideal swap, these nuts are even more pricey than pine nuts. They’re creamy, buttery and slightly stronger in flavor. SHOP WOODEN SPOONS.
- Sunflower Seeds. These seeds are a great inexpensive swap for pine nuts, but if using them to make pesto, keep in mind that they will dull the overall color.
- White Beans. Though white beans will not provide the crunch or texture of pine nuts, they are a decent nut-free substitute in pesto: They’ll add a similar creaminess.
- Edamame. Whether cooked or roasted for a crispy snack, edamame are a good pine nut substitute. Either version works in a pesto, though the roasted snack version is better for salad toppings or other savory dishes where you want some crunch.
