Toasted Walnut Basil Pesto

Toasted Walnut Basil Pesto

(this giveaway is now closed…thank you to all who entered)

I have been making pesto this past month like it’s nobody’s business. Every time I run out, I make more. I put it on everything…pizza, pasta, soup, bread and even use it as a dip for…pretzels.

I love me some pesto.

I normally make my pesto with pine nuts, but since I have a Costco sized bag of walnuts hanging in the pantry I have been using walnuts instead. And I like it. It gives the pesto and earthier flavor, and if you didn’t know, walnuts kick butt in the nutrition department. So it’s all good.

Now in addition to this pesto recipe, I have another favorite thing to share with you. My new Blendtec blender. Blendtec was nice enough to send me a blender to try out as well as one to give to one of my readers – that’s you.

How cool is that? You will love this blender people, it’s hard core. I have made 20 something smoothies in it already (there is a digital counter on the blender that counts your uses, my kids and I think that is the coolest thing). I’ve even started to make whole juices. I’ve made salsa … and this pesto. I’m having some fun with my new blender. And the winner will too.

Giveaway:

Blendtec Total FourSide Blender (value $484.95) plus an additional WildSide jar.

(Blender is factory reconditioned, as the one I received is)

Starts today, Tuesday August 9 and ends Friday, August 19 at 12 noon (EST) {edited to fix date to Aug 19, not Aug 20}

Sorry, giveaway open to US readers only. Winner will be chosen randomly using Pick Giveaway Winner plugin application {edited to write Pick Giveaway Winner plugin application instead of Random.org}

  175. I “like” Angie’s Kitchen on Facebook. 😀

  176. Hahaha! Apparently I was so excited I forgot my favorite thing! Green smoothies! I add fresh ground flax seed(throw it in the Blendtech before other ingredients and give it a whirl). Then spirullina, a couple dates for sweetness, frozen fruit(blueberries, strawbrries, mango, pineapple, apples, bananna, rasberries, peaches….. I could go on fover) :-), then add your fresh greens. Spinach is pretty mild if you are just starting out and are not too sure of the flavor, kale, chard, mustard greens, there are infinite possibilities and combinations. Always add water (I do a little less than half of the ingredient pile- less water makes it thicker/more water is thinner) then blend to your hearts content! 🙂

  177. I “like” Blendtec on Facebook, and I mostly use my current blender for smoothies and protein-type drinks.

  178. I liked Blendtec on Facebook. Used my sisters this weekend while in Utah and love it. We made oatmeal flour, pizza dough and protein shakes and I absolutely love it. Great product!

  179. I also liked Aggie’s Kitchen. Thanks for the great pesto recipe. I needed a good one of those and can’t wait to make some!

  180. Love this! I use my blender a lot, probably dips in the summer and soups in winter!!

  181. Aggie, love the Blendtec and the pesto. Best of luck to the winner – you will love this blender!

  182. I don’t currently have a blender, but I’d love to be able to make post-run smoothies!

  183. I’m a smoothy fan. I would use my blendtec blender to make smothies and blend my Apple TV 🙂

  184. I followed @blendtec on Twitter! 🙂

  185. I would definitely attempt your recipe for the Toasted Walnut Basil Pesto..it looks amazing, but I would also love to make smoothies with it.

  186. Actually, we use it most for pesto making and smoothie making. Not at the same time, though, cuz I think a pesto flavored smoothie might be a bit much.

  187. I would make smoothies, and chocolate shakes, and puff pancakes, and… everything!!

  289. Hi, Aggie [and everybody else, too!]. I use my blender the most to make smoothies with frozen fruit, some juice and a little bit of honey or agave syrup or Splenda. Also use it to make shakes w/frozen coffee cubes, Silk, non-fat ice cream and Splenda.

    I also “Like” you on F/B and subscribe to your RSS feed.

    Thanks for all you do!

  290. I use my blender most for fruit shakes.

  306. I use my blender for making pesto (the recipe I use also calls for walnuts) — lots of pesto to freeze to enjoy all year long. We also make fresh fruit sorbets…so we use the blender to blend the fruit and other ingredients. Really enjoy your site!

  439. I must confess that since the blinder incident of ’95 I have not even attempted to turn a blender on. Turns out you can have a huge argument with your girlfriend after dumping the contents of a blender all over the kitchen counter…apparently if you don’t know how to put a blender together to hold that fancy milk shake you just made, you are going to have some cleaning to do.

  456. I don’t have a blender but was at Costco last week and fell in love wih the Blendtec….. didn’t purchases it though… hubby:(
    I do use a food processor, but it does NOTHING like a Blendtec Can.
    So if I had one, I would:
    Make amazing soup. tried it at Costco.Love that you can seeds and all and it heats it up.
    Almond Milk Strawberry Ice Cream……… Delish!
    Power Smoothies for my hubby…….and my self
    New favorite thing to try………..Chia Seeds. They are a miracle for joint pain.
    Boy do I hope I win one of those:)

  457. I hope to win… I went and seen a demo at sam’s club the other day and I want one so bad… i am on disability now and am saving up! but winning would be great too… 🙂 thanks for the wonderful chance of winning this great life changing product

A powerful way to start the day with cleaning and renewing is to bend dark green vegetables (kale, spinach, etc), blueberries, strawberries, orange, banana, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, and organic apple juice. With more and more experts adding their voices to the benefits of following a plant-based diet, Blendtec makes this lifestyle choice easy!!

  470. I use my blender for making doggie treats! And I need a new one to make babyfood for our future adopted children!

  631. Thanks for the info on the lemon in pesto sauce. Mine does get quite …brown. I’ll have to try that next time! I never use my blender. It’s…old and sad. I use my food processor whenever I need a blender.

  632. Liked Blendtec on Facebook!

  633. Surprisingly, I don’t own a blender. But I do have a magic bullet and I put that baby to work at least 4 out of 7 days a week. Most often I use it to grind nuts or make quick dressings.

    I wish I had this pesto right now. Would really prefer it to peanut butter on english muffin. Sigh, sigh!

    (of course, I am already a fan of yours on twitter, FB, AND in real life! :P)

  678. Hi Angie, I have you on my facebook also. I don’t have a cell so I don’t tweet. I have two blenders. One is so loud (plastic top) it scares my dog each morning. The other is glass top and heavy and I can’t use my right arm so it makes it hard to use that one. I make protein drinks everyday with whatever fruit I can get my hands on. We also use it to make pesto sauce with herbs from our little garden. Even used it to blend up some tomatoes off the vine yesterday as I was out of tomato paste and sauce. Not sure how I managed that, I guess I was cutting corners the last time I went grocery shopping. I love our recipes and your children are beautiful. (I am not trying to win points as I know it is a random pick) I just wanted to let you know that but then. You know. LOL Have a good day.

  679. 1st entry: Already liked Aggie’s kitchen on facebook 🙂

  693. The #1 way I would use this blender would be to blend healthy foods for my son who is g-tube fed. His Dr. put him on a blended diet and this would give me the best way to blend up his food and give him a balance diet to help him grow.

  694. I would use the blender for everything!!! I currently use the one my mom and dad got as a wedding gift – 2 years before I was born. Let’s just say, it’s an antique and needs to be put to rest. 🙂

  706. i use my blender for my sons blender diet to feed him thru his feeding tube, currently with the blender i have you have to strain the puree to make it so it will go thru his feeding tube correctly, the blendtec would take care of that prob and make my life alot easyer, the blenderized diet has made my life so much easyer as i am more confident that hes getting the nutrition he needs, with out confining his diet to just the very special diet he was on, thanks jamie, ps i liked blendtec on facebook already

  720. I already “liked” Blentec on FB – that’s how I found your site!

  721. I will use the blender for my daughter’s blenderized diet. She has had a g-tube most of her life but still was stuggling to gain weight. We started a bd a few weeks ago and are already seeing a difference in her. My current blender is not able to do what I need it to do to give her the variety of foods she needs.
