Pesto is easy to make from scratch with just a handful of ingredients. Its fresh flavor is the highlight of this super-fast pasta dish, packed with freshly grated parmesan and maybe some white wine. Mmmm, perfect for this summer. Pesto sauce is always matched with twisted pasta, so make sure you buy some curly wholemeal pasta it before the sauce preparation. Enjoy!
