Genoese pesto with PDO basil 185g

Pesto is a typical Ligurian condiment, traditionally used to season pasta. It is a raw sauce, that is, a compound in which all the ingredients are mixed cold, not cooked. The key ingredients are basil, oil, pine nuts, garlic and Grana Padano. Ideal for dressing pasta, trofie, gnocchi and lasagna, it is also used (especially in Anglo-Saxon countries) as a spread on bruschetta and sandwiches and as a salad dressing.
