El pesto It is a sauce originally from Italy (specifically from Liguria) made from basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese and olive oil. Its origin comes from the Genoese word I'll blink, which means to pound or grind in a mortar, which is the way pesto was traditionally prepared. In addition to this green pesto there is also the red pesto or pesto rosso, which instead of basil, is made with dried tomatoes, bell pepper, pecorino cheese, salt and olive oil.
