Pesto Sauce: An Italian Origin Sauce

Pesto is actually called an Italian sauce. Its origin is from Italy, however it was later believed to have been imported from African region. Its basic constituents are basil, salt, garlic, nuts, olive oil, cheese etc. The pesto’s which are used for commercial purpose do contain walnuts or cashews as they are a bit cheaper. This sauce can be used for meat or pasta, or over toasted bread.

It can be easily made at home that too from scratch and then can be stored in a covered container in the fridge for almost a month. In order to prevent pesto sauce from discoloration a thin layer of olive oil can be poured over its top.
