... to think that DP didn't have to eat all the pesto.

[Bluestocking]

I made about 200ml of fresh pesto this afternoon. I had some bolognese sauce for me and DS (DP is vegetarian). AIBU to think that DP is a total scoffyfucker for eating the whole lot? I didn't even get a taste (apart from the very small taste for seasoning while I was making it).

200ml is not enough. I would have scoffed the lot as well.

OK, it wasn't enough, but given the amount of basil I had, it was all I could make! Are you trying to make it My Fault?

Me too.

LTB no mercy. (I love pesto)

If it was lovely, which it obviously was, I would have had that scoffed in seconds.

I concede defeat - it was my fault for making such a laughably small quantity of something so delicious! Win-win (kind of). I'll make a vat next time and invite you all round!

Would love to be able to make my own pesto (off topic I know)

My dh makes the best pesto in the world ever. It is our Summer favourite, in the garden , spaghetti and pesto, chilled white wind, strawberries, Wensleydale cheese....heaven.

Wine not wind!

You are hoist by your own parmesan.

YABU for not giving us the recipe

Homemade pesto. Mmmmmmmm. And I could leave it sitting next to DH for a lifetime safe in the knowledge he would not go near it. This thread has just decided supper for tomorrow. For some of the family

YANBU. 200 ml of pesto is like 2 jars worth. You're only supposed to use a couple of teaspoons per portion.

If I made that much, it would be frozen in ice cube trays and I would want it to last for months.

What did have that was swimming in pesto?

Line runner, you crack me up!

Chilled white wind. *chortle

Homemade pesto is awesome though. My DP makes hers with pecans added as well as pine nuts. It is so so good. I would scoff the lot too sorry :o

I will happily share a recipe (or several) - I referred to http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2010/sep/02/how-to-make-perfect-pesto this but used garlic even though Felicity says not to.

What happened to my linky?

Has to have garlic. This is non negotiable!

Sounds delicious! You will have to start hiding it or your dh is going to start piling on the pounds eating that much pesto in one go!

I've hated to look of pesto for years, but having read the recipe it actually sounds lovely. Must buy a pestle and mortar.

200 ml is loads!! and I'd have scoffed it all myself definitely having pesto this week now

Good point, Dexter, I'll make him aware of just how fattening it is!
Kitten, real pesto is completely different from the ready-made in the jars, don't resist!

It's good fat though isn't it?

First world problems!
