Search Results - Pesto

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Pesto (Italian ['pesto], Genoese ['pestu]) is a sauce originating in Genoa in the Liguria region of northern Italy (pesto alla genovese). The name is the contracted past participle of pestâ ("to pound, to crush", from the Latin root of word pestle), in reference to the sauce's crushed herbs and garlic.

The ancient Romans ate a cheese spread called moretum which may sometimes have been made with basil. The herb likely first came from North Africa.[citation needed]

In 1944, The New York Times mentioned an imported canned pesto paste. In 1946 Sunset Magazine published a pesto recipe, by Angelo Pellegrini. Pesto did not become popular in North America until the 1980s and 1990s.[1]

Historically, pesto is prepared in a marble mortar with wooden pestle. Leaves are washed, dried, put in the mortar with garlic and coarse salt, and crushed to a creamy consistency. The pine nuts are added and crushed together. When the nuts are well incorporated in the "cream", grated cheeses or olive oil can be added and stirred together with a wooden spoon. In a tight jar, or simply in an air-tight plastic container, pesto can last in the refrigerator up to a week. Pesto can also be frozen.

I love putting basil in all my sauces and, of course, making pesto sauce. You need to make sure you have all the right supplies. If you are growing them in containers, make sure you have a good size. If you want to grow several basil plants, I suggest using a large pot or a box. This way, you can space them enough but utilize your space. You can use individual smaller pots if you would rather place them in different areas. ... (read more)

2. Is it Hard to Grow Herbs?
November 03, 2008

Do you love to make Pesto or season your chicken with parsley and rosemary? Maybe you love the taste of fresh mint in a cool summer drink. Fresh herbs are the way to go when it comes to seasoning your foods and drink. You can't use dried basil in Pesto, you need to use fresh basil leaves.

Not as fresh as if you had grown them yourself. They are also much more expensive when you buy them in the store. If you a... (read more)
