Only the Italians can take just a few fresh ingredients and transform them into a satisfying, vibrant, raw sauce. I use a pestle and mortar to make my pesto sauce because the smell is so intoxicating as I mash everything together. Feel free to dump all the ingredients, except the cheeses, into a blender or food processor. Stir in the Parmesan and Pecorino.

To make it Ligurian style, add steamed potatoes and green beans! Serve with a chilled bottle of Madrevite Elve Grechetto.
