{"title":"Pesto","description":"\u003cp\u003ePesto is a sauce made by pounding something fragrant with oil and salt, and its name comes from the Italian word for pounded. It comes from Liguria, the coast around Genoa. The classic is pesto genovese. The Genoese pesto consortium lists seven ingredients: small-leaf Genovese basil, extra virgin olive oil, Parmigiano Reggiano, pecorino Fiore Sardo, garlic, pine nuts and coarse salt. Pound walnuts instead and you get a creamy walnut sauce, and sun-dried tomatoes with basil turn the sauce red. The consortium pairs pesto with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pantry-pasta\"\u003epasta\u003c\/a\u003e such as trofie and trenette, and says it can also flavor minestrone, a vegetable soup.
