Pin Recipe Instructions
- Peel the walnuts and put the kernels with the pine nuts in the food processor. Peel the garlic, chop the cheese a little and add to the nut mixture with the mustard, then puree everything. Gradually add the oil until you have a smooth sauce. Season to taste with pepper, cayenne pepper and salt.
- Tip: I usually use two types of mustard, a bit coarse, spicy one and a little mustard with green pepper (then the pepper can be left out).
- This goes well with spaghetti or penne. Mix the pesto with the pasta and garnish with fresh parsley. But the pesto is also suitable as a crust for a nice piece of meat.
