The Italian Irish Mamma

Yes, thats right tomorrow (Thurs 21st January) at 6:30pm GMT (Irish/UK time) I will be hosting on my profile an Instagram Live session with the lovely Virginia of @virginiashealthcorner where we will be making fresh Pesto from scratch! Would you care to join us and have your Thursday family dinner sorted in just about half an hour? Heres all you need to bring to our virtual kitchen party (for 4 people): -x2 small Basil plants -Extra Virgin Olive Oil -Pecorino or Parmesan Cheese -Half a clove or Garlic -Pine Nuts -Your favourite Pasta shapes (spaghetti or linguine are recommended for pesto but whatever you have at home will do). You will need a blender to make Pesto (we are not going to do it the old-fashioned way with the mortar, dont worry ). For anyone with an intolerance to Pine Nuts you can replace them with Cashew Nuts. Or leave nuts out altogether. For anyone on a carb-free diet, Virginia will show you how to make courgette spirals which are a great spaghetti alternative (x4 courgettes are needed for this). If you have any questions ahead of the Live, pop them down here. The Live will be in English (featuring indeed our beautiful Italian accents). #pesto #pestopasta #ketofriendly #mammaitaliana #italianiinirlanda #italianiadublino #italiancuisine #cucinaitaliana #instagramlive #cookingathome #cookingdemo #vegetarian #italianexpat #italianiallestero #mumsofinstagram
