CLASSIC BASIL PESTO

This classic pesto, aka Genovese pesto, comes from the Genoa region and is full of ingredients found on the shores of the Italian Riviera. Make it in late summer when the basil plants are at their peak. It freezes really well, so you can reminisce about the summer any time of the year.
