Walnut Pesto

4 servings

20 minutes

The first thing that comes to mind when talking about pesto is basil, but in this case it will be different. The star of our pesto is walnut! The first time I had the opportunity to enjoy this pesto many years ago during a trip to the north-east of Italy, the Veneto region. I must say, this experience left a lasting impression.
