What is Pesto?

Italian for “pounded,” pesto is an uncooked sauce made with fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan or Pecorino cheese and olive oil. The ingredients can either be crushed with mortar and pestle or finely chopped with a food processor. This classic, fresh-tasting sauce originated in Genoa, Italy. Although used on a variety dishes, it’s a favorite with pasta. Pesto can be made with cilantro, mint and sun-dried tomatoes.
