Fresh pasta pesto is therefore the simplest but oh so delicious culinary dish in the world. The roots of this sauce: sultry Italy. 

The first recipes with pesto originated as early as the Roman Empire. 

 Pesto is actually a coarsely mashed sauce based on cheese, nuts, seeds and herbs. The ultimate classic consists of a mix of pine nuts, parmesan and basil. For a surprising taste experience, you can choose contemporary variants with grilled pumpkin, sunflower seeds and goat cheese. 

By the way, pesto is not only delicious with pasta. Feel free to use it as a dip or flavouring on bread. A tasty pesto? Everyone loves it!

Tip: combine your fresh pesto with some fresh vegetables or cold cuts, or use it to pimp your own home-made sauce.
