Italian basil pesto is an easy, versatile summer sauce
The last time I wrote about pesto, I got more than a few emails from readers who wanted to set the record straight. "Real pesto is made with basil, and only basil, no other greens," wrote one newsletter subscriber. "If you want to use other types of greens and nuts in your pesto, good for you," another reader wrote. "But I'll be making mine with only basil, pine nuts, olive oil, Parmesan and garlic."
