Pesto sauce is a fantastically refreshing condiment that pairs well with all kinds of pasta. With basil as the primary ingredient, pesto also requires parmesan cheese, garlic, olive oil and pine nuts. You can also substitute with walnuts or peanuts in the recipe. The delightful pesto sauce simply grinds all these ingredients to a smooth paste, which can then be directly combined with the pasta of choice.

Pesto sauce can be used in sandwiches, pastas and pizzas too. An important thing to note in this recipe is that the Spaghetti must be cooked Al Dente, for which a pinch of salt and some olive oil can also be used. This means that it is essential to ensure spaghetti does not over boil or become mushy. Further, while making the pesto sauce, always ensure that the olive oil is added in small quantities to get the right consistency.
