Originally from Liguria in northwest Italy, pesto is traditionally made with basil leaves. But you can exchange them for spinach leaves or, if you’re anti-waste, celery, carrot or radish tops. Very easy to make, it can decorate a homemade pizza, a toast with mozzarella, be used as a sauce or, more simply, a dish of linguine al dente.
