Trenette al pesto genovese “accomodate”

Basil pesto, sauce is the world's second most popular pasta sauce, but its success, which has grown over the past 20 years, is due to its versatility. Pesto is ancient. It probably originated as a condiment of minced garlic used in the Roman Empire to season meats and fish, to which some basil leaves were added for flavor.
