When you’re thinking pesto – the first thing that probably comes to mind is the popular pesto alla genovese. Strictly speaking though, pesto is a generic term for anything that is made by pounding; that is why the word is used for several pestos in Italy. In this version we add sun-dried tomatoes to the mix for a rich and salty flavor, as well as nutritional yeast to ‘imitate’ the traditional hard cheese.
