Why buy Pesto
Sauce in the Supermarket or Store, when it's so easy to make this Pesto
Recipe and the results are miles better?
You only need a few ingredients and it just takes a few minutes to
prepare.
Really though, this is such a famous Sauce that people are inclined to
think it must be too difficult to make at home and so spend years
eating an inferior product.
In the olden days when the great sauce was invented in Genoa in the
liguria district of Italy, it was made by pounding the ingredients in a
pestle and mortar. Nowadays most people use a food processor but some
traditional cooks believe that the old method still produces the best
results.
It's up to you - either way you will produce something extraordinary.
