I'm excited to share my version of pasta alla Trapanese, featuring Sicily's amazing tomato pesto. I love the Genovese-style pesto, but when super-sweet cherry tomatoes are in season, I really believe this pesto is the best pesto. Enjoy!

As someone who grew up eating pesto alla trapanese, I can tell you that your version is very similar to what we use to eat here in Sicily. Perhaps less almonds and basil (at least in my family we put very little into it), since the main protagonist is the fresh tomato, along with garlic and olive oil (lots of it). But still pretty good!

@canisinumbra 10 месяцев назад

Don’t know where you ate it but not in Trapani. This is wrong. Pesto alla trapanese is a close relative to pesto alla genovese. The original colour is a brownish-orange tone because it’s the Sicilian take on the Ligurian original. There is almonds instead of pine nuts, solely Pecorino instead of Parmigiano and Pecorino Fiore Sardo with the addition of fresh tomatoes. Skinned and de-cored without the water. Basil is still a main ingredient Mortar and pestle is a must.

You can actually shock those almonds in cold water once you've blanched them. Makes it even quicker since you won't have to wait for them to cool down.

@MDRstudi0s 11 месяцев назад

Dang chef John! That recipe looked amazing! Definitely the best one in a while (they are all excellent but Italiano food is my weakness) I know people use almonds but my family uses walnuts when pine nuts aren’t available. Questions. Did you blanch the almonds for a flavor purpose or just to get the skins off? And how come you didn't toast the nuts? Are pine nuts just hard to get for you? Cant wait to try this recipe, almond pesto, thats interesting :)

@MDRstudi0s 11 месяцев назад

Nvm chef. Did research, those Sicilians make it with almonds traditionally. My family came to america from Genoa. You should do a pasta alla norma dish, those farmer market tomaters looked amazing for it.
