Basil and Pistachio Pesto

Cultural Context

Originating from the Liguria region of Italy, pesto is a classic sauce that embodies the flavors of fresh basil and nuts. Traditionally made with pine nuts, this version uses pistachios for a unique twist. Pesto is integral to Italian cuisine, often served with pasta, drizzled over vegetables, or as a spread. Today, variations abound, making it a beloved sauce worldwide, with many experimenting with different nuts and herbs.
