Pesto is a sauce that originated in Italy. Essentially a blend of garlic cloves, pine nuts, fresh basil leaves, coarse salt, olive oil and some parmesan cheese is what makes a traditional Pesto sauce. 

Likewise, a change in the combination of the ingredients, with the main ingredients changing like basil being substituted with green olives, sun dried tomatoes, and the usage of nuts like almonds, walnuts and cashews instead of pine nuts, give us a similar sauce, obviously with different flavour profiles and textures. 

There are various combinations that can be put together to make these Italian pesto that are freshly ground. Below are 4 Delicious and Healthy Pesto Recipes you can make and then use them across the recipes below to make various dishes.
