Anleitungen
- Wash the zucchini and remove the two ends. Grate into coarse strips with a kitchen grater. Place in a large sieve and carefully squeeze out the excess liquid.
- Then put the zucchini strips in the cup of the hand blender. Grate the Parmigiano and Pecorino and add to the cup along with the pine nuts and basil.
- Add a little olive oil and mix gently on low speed with the hand blender. Gradually add the remaining olive oil until the pesto has a nice creamy consistency. Now just season with salt and you're done!
Notizen
If you put the pesto in a small jar and seal it with a layer of olive oil, it will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
