My husband and I happened upon a marvelous restaurant just north of Genoa where the daily offerings were announced, rather than written. I was able to catch the word "pesto" and selected the spectacular Pesto Genovese as my first plate. Though I often tried to recreate the dish, I was unsuccessful until I found this recipe. For those who challenge the authenticity of this recipe, I would suggest they first try an authentic Pesto Genovese in Genoa.




You must try this one!!!

The ingredients all looked good but what a surprise when it turned into a meal I'll create over and over again.

No parm in a pesto. Come on Mario, this pesto needs something
