About this Blog

I wanted to save money, so I decided to eat very inexpensive (noodles with pesto mostly). To motivate myself, I decided to try to eat and review every pesto I could buy. This is the result.

Setup

The Pasta was Barilla Gemelli or Girandole. The pesto was mixed with the noodles and some starchy pasta-water to try and create a creamy emulsion that would coat the pasta better.

Rating

Each pesto is compared in these categories:

Taste: how it tasted
Consistency: How was the consistency, did it form a proper emulsion with the pasta water
Ingredients: what's in it, how much of it, and how is it
Price: how expensive is this pesto
Size: how much is in the glass

I also list the ingredients and add some notes why I rated the pasta the way I did. I then give a final grade.
