PESTO GENOVESE (AUTHENTIC ITALIAN BASIL PESTO)
An authentic Genoese pesto. It's straight from Italy and you won't find a better recipe! This calls for a spoonful of pecorino cheese, but you could also use all Parmesan in a pinch. To store in fridge for up to 1 month: place pesto in a jar, cover with olive oil, and top with a lid.

THE BEST CLASSIC PESTO
Peppery, tangy, creamy, and fresh-tasting - this pesto has it all. It's a great way to use up the bounty of your summer herb garden, and each batch will last in the fridge for up to 2 weeks! Use it to dress up pasta, potatoes, eggs, sauces, marinades, or soups. Spread it on bread and top with grilled chicken and tomatoes for a delightful open-faced sandwich. Or, stir a spoonful into mayonnaise for a homemade pesto aioli.

- Vegan Artichoke and Walnut Pesto. Delight your foodie friends at dinner parties—and stick to a vegan diet—by tossing hot pasta with this gorgeous, Roman-style pesto sauce.
- Mint Pesto. Wake up your taste buds with our refreshing mint pesto. Its bright and garlicky flavor is a wonderful addition to spring pasta salads, and the included feta cheese makes it an especially fabulous complement to Easter lamb dishes.
- Nut-Free Vegan Pesto (French Pistou) Originating from Nice in Provence, pistou is basically the French cousin of Italian pesto. Just like pesto, it's a simply delicious Mediterranean sauce made with basil, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt—but contains no nuts or cheese, so you can enjoy it on a vegan diet.
