Dairy-Free Nut-Free Pesto

Cultural Context

Pesto originated in Genoa, Italy, and traditionally features basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, and olive oil. This dairy-free and nut-free version caters to those with dietary restrictions while maintaining the vibrant flavors of the original. It's a versatile sauce that can be used in pasta dishes, as a sandwich spread, or as a dip. Modern adaptations have made pesto a beloved condiment worldwide, with variations that include different herbs and nuts.
