Pesto alla Ligure, the Ligurian classic combination of basil, extra virgin olive oil, garlic and pinenuts. Stir a tablespoon per person through warm, cooked spaghetti or linguine for a quick meal or a fantastic accompanyment.
Next time you're in the supermarket, check out the ingredients of any green pesto and you'll probably find loads of preservatives and nasty stuff. Then compare it to ours, with just basil, extra virgin olive oil, pinenuts, garlic, grana cheese, a touch of wine vinegar and a little salt.
