Pesto sauce is a sauce consisting of basil, parmesan, garlic, and pine nuts, originating from the Italian city of Genoa. So, if you're considering a trip to Northern Italy, Genoa is a nice place to start. We've used pesto as a main ingredient in our risotto, and we've paired with some delicious fried squid.
