Every Italian family has their own secret recipe of Pesto, which is been passed on from generation to another as a legacy. The one rule for making this magic green sauce is that there are no rules, use your creative skills to prepare a batch with ingredients of your choice like - instead of Parmesan you can try Dry Monterey Jack or Cheddar, when it comes to nuts you can pick from pine nuts to pistachios to walnuts or hazelnuts.
