To make laksa pesto, just blend together with the regular basil pesto,a bunch of laksa leaves, coriander leaves, dried shrimp, dried chilli, candle nuts and maybe a bit of salted fish or fish sauce for that Asian flavour. Fry the pasta with some garlic and prawns and then the combined pesto. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice and mix.

Yes, you stick to your basic basil pesto mix and add just the extras I mentioned to add variations to the pesto. I only add a bit of laksa leaves though as I find the leaves rather overpowering. Still prefer good old basil pesto.

Not replace basil with laksa leaves? Wouldn't the basil clash with the laksa leaves?
