I know that it's been a long time! I am still surprised whenever I stop by and look at this blog - people are still visiting it!
Today, because I am obviously an (undiagnosed) obsessive-compulsive, I spent the past two or more hours searching for pesto recipes. Here is what I found out:
Pesto Recipe URLs
Pesto - Definition: [PEH-stoh] An uncooked sauce made with fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan or pecorino cheese and olive oil. The ingredients can either be crushed with mortar and pestle or finely chopped with a food processor. This classic, fresh-tasting sauce originated in Genoa, Italy, and although used on a variety of dishes, it is a favorite with pasta. Now there are "pestos" made from myriad other ingredients from cilantro to mint.
