Using a recipe from his cookbook, Bread Is Gold, Bottura loses the traditional pine nuts and uses breadcrumbs instead. The final product is a fresh and original pesto pasta dish from one of the best chefs in the world that's still simple enough to make at home.

"Do you eat pasta al dente or overcooked?" Massimo serving up 3 stars of shade too
-
"There's breadcrumbs. You either eat it, or you go to bed." is probably the most Italian thing ever.
-
The number of Italians who have no idea Massimo's entire career involves flouting traditional Italian cooking is way too high. Osteria Francescana was the redheaded stepchild of Italian cuisine for years and on the verge of bankruptcy before people actually tried it. He's number one because he does his own thing at an incredibly high standard. And also because the mad lad made a dish out of a dropped tart.
-
Kind of warming to know that someone who's considered to be the best chef in world like him, doesn't let go of his humble roots and applies that in his own innovation..
-
holy how did they get massimo bottura
-
That's the genuine and best part of Italians' character. Not so often embodied it. Grande Massimo! 💚 ❤
-
I love Massimo! His Chef's Table episode was one of the best!
-
"how did they get massimo" he's got a book to sell.
-
01:52 love that he tastes the pesto with his finger, then promptly seasons it with his same fingers sprinkling salt.. exactly how I cook. (and everyone else too, that's not "on TV")
-
Massimo is 100% good food and 0% bulshit. Always happy and straight to the point.
-
To all the haters... Yes its not original pesto Yes he prepares it in a mixer Yes he uses breadcrumbs instead of nuts... why? He shows people (who don't have a lot of experience or equipment, tiny kitchen etc.) a super easy well crafted recipe that uses old food that would normally go to waste. He is an amzing chef not just bc he cooks well... also because he looks at sustainabilty. Watch the first episode of Chef's Table S1. He is awesome (Italian Jeff Goldblum)
-
Absolutely love Massimo. Need more of him!
-
Munchies got Mossimo?! Looks like they are stepping up their game over there.
-
I can't wait for the comments about this recipe being wrong or bad, considering that he is an Italian, has the best voted restaurant in the world, he himself has been voted best chef in the world 3 michelin stars and was one of the people responsible for stopping Parmesan cheese from possibly not existing. All the little keyboard chefs will come pouring out of the woodwork soon.
-
Massimo !!! There is something so magnificent about his style and technique!!
-
It's so good that the guy at 3:16 threw his head back in joy before he even tasted it!
-
This is not the pesto genoves my grandma taught me to do, but it still is pesto and nobody here can argue with that. Well crafted gourmet original one and I respect it and will try it out, Im sure it tastes delicious.
-
Well, I guess he never specified that he would be making a classic pesto Genovese, so there's no reason to fault his recipe without even trying it. I recall reading a piece about pesto in which this old school Italian chef in Genoa said, "pesto is the way you make pesto". Basically, he didn't care about purism. Before the automobile and produce deliveries, pesto was made with what you had, and that wasn't always basil, pine nuts, and parmigiano-reggiano.

Much respect Chef. Everything you touch turns gold.
-
Looks amazing, made me want pesto and pasta.... So i went out and bought some.
