Nice vid, will try soon. Thanks.
I am not Vegan but I really really really want some of that. I just harvested a bunch of tomatoes and am in the process of drying them in my car. I hope it works because I want some PESTO!
I added Nutritional Yeast.
What did you add in lieu of the parmesan cheese?
Great job. Thanks for helping me
I think its a smoked ham, it has a beefy flavor, saltinbocca has it on it. I just bought some and am going to experiment w/ it
You use it on top of small slices of bread. It’s an appetizer, usually. But, if you like the taste, try it over a pasta. You might try adding roasted vegtables, and serve with bread. If you serve it over bread, lightly toast the bread, maybe some butter and rub a garlic clove over it for flavor.
Buy a french baguette, cut into med. thin slices, brush with olive oil and bake until golden brown; serve the bruschetta on top as an appetizer. MMM delicious.
It is a quality bacon often smoked and should be enjoyed grilled with some rather plain, or lightly flavoured pasta.
bruschetta typically is a country Italian bread toasted rubbed with fresh garlic and topped with any condiment that you like,served as appetizer or with soup(Italian minestrone or pappa al pomodoro or ribollita etc..)
Bruschetta usually refers to the bread, not the topping. A good Pugliese or Ciabatta makes good bruschetta – you slice it thin, rub it with olive oil and garlic, and then toast it in the oven.
However, it’s not your fault they labeled the stuff wrong. What does the topping look like? Assuming you still want to use it with pasta, is it chunky, like little bits of tomato and herbs packed together in oil? Chunky things like that are best served with shaped pasta like penne or shells. That way, you can “catch” some of the topping inside the holes in the pasta. Spaghetti or linguine are not as good a choice because it’ll be very hard to get both pasta and topping in the same bite.
And if you’re thinking to add more things to this pasta/topping mixture, I highly recommend pine nuts. So very tasty.
You might even consider making this up cold – chill the pasta and then stir in the topping and garnish with pine nuts. The warm weather means it’s a great time for cold pasta salads!
Bruschetta is a slice of toasted bread with tomato pieces, cheese, mozzarella or other. You make it what you want.
I’m italian and I know it very good

Bruschetta (help·info) is a food originating in central Italy. It was eaten during the 15th century. It consists of grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Variations may include toppings of spicy red pepper, tomato, vegetables and/or cheese. Bruschetta is usually served as a snack or appetizer. In Tuscany, bruschetta is called fettunta, meaning “oiled slice”.It is worth noting that in Italian, bruschetta is pronounced [brusˈket.ta], though in English-speaking countries it is commonly mispronounced [bɹəˈʃɛ.ɾə]. The noun “bruschetta” is from the verb in the Roman dialect “bruscare,” meaning “to roast over coals.” Following a process in historical linguistics known as semantic shift, the meaning of the word has changed, so that now some Americans typically use the word “bruschetta” to refer to the topping itself, not the dish. Many grocery store chains in the US sell bottled “bruschetta,” which is simply tomatoes, onion, garlic, and other herbs. In Italy, Bruschetta is often prepared using a brustolina grill.
