Liguria is home to the famed pesto sauce. The traditional Ligurian pesto has just fresh garlic, fresh basil, lightly toasted pine nuts, good quality EVOO, and aged Parmesan. Check out the variations of pesto recipes in our recipe library and choose whichever one best suits you or your pantry when you are ready to turn these everyday ho-hum green beans into something spectacular! These beans are great served warm or cold. I always double this recipe, so I have yummy leftovers available to toss with pasta the day after. Be sure to pair these savory legumes with a crisp cool glass of Madrevite Elve, a 100% Grechetto from the green rolling hills of Umbria.
