    i do add alot of pecorino to the pesto, otherwise this is one of my favourite mario dishes. i've been lucky enough to enjoy it at one of his restaurants, so it's amazing to be able to do my best at home to make it.

    My husband (the Italian in the family was skeptical of the potatoes.... but everyone loved it! I was able to find the trenette at Whole Foods and the shape was great with the dish.

    The recipe in Mario's cookbook does have a little parm in the pesto.... not sure why it's not here. Perhaps a typo.

    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.

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