That's pesto sauce Dave, an old typical recipe of Liguria, the area of Italy were
I live. Pesto means grinded, and basically it's formed by young leaves of
fresh basil, parmesan (or 1/2 parmesan and 1/2 pecorino cheese according
to my mother!), pine kernels and a little garlic grinded together
with extra virgin oil. It could seem easy to prepare, but really it doesn't !!!
We use that sauce to dress pasta, especially troffie,trenette or testaroli wich
are typical of Liguria too. Pesto stands in the first five reasons why I'm glad to be ligurian.
JESUS I'M HUNGRY NOW!!!
