CLASSIC PESTO

Today we are making CLASSIC PESTO like a real Italian! 😍 Pesto literally means “to crush” in Italian and it is a delicious basil sauce from Liguria region (north west of Italy). 🌿 Today I am using a marble mortar to make my pesto but you can absolutely use a blender if you don’t have one! 🤌
