Pesto Basil and Pinenut Sauce
Basil has been used for centuries by Mediterranean people, but the Genoese gave pesto to the world. Like other traditional and ancient recipes, Pesto is pretty easy to make, but the secret stays in maintaining the flavors of basil and cheese in a perfect mix. This is our Academy's recipe, as we make in our cooking classes.
