Traditionally a paste of fresh basil leaves, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan, and pine nuts, pesto has come a long way since its humble beginnings in Genoa, Italy. Over the years, cooks have experimented with pesto, introducing diverse herbs such as cilantro, rosemary, mint, and lemon thyme. In VERY PESTO, you’ll learn how to make 20 different fresh and flavorful pestos and use them in more than 30 recipes for salads, pastas, pizzas, vegetables, and more. With such tantalizing recipes as Fresh Pea and Mint Pesto Pasta, Red Pesto Ceviche, Chilled Cucumber Pesto Soup, Tabbouleh with Mint Pesto, and Pesto Frittata, you’ll relish this sublime sauce year round.
