15-Year-Old Pesto Sauce

Recipesfull introduces to you: Pasta Sauce Recipes. (15-Year-Old Pesto Sauce). I first tried pesto in a restaurant about 15 years ago and asked the chef what was in it. I love keeping my own jar of this on hand as it yields enough for a pound of pasta and is wonderful drizzled over tomatoes, boiled potatoes, or Italian bread.
