Description
Summer is the time of year when gardens are full of pesto's essential ingredient and what the Greeks called the "royal herb" or as we know it, basil. Fresh basil has a wonderful pungent aroma and an incredible flavor that is a cross between licorice and cloves. Pesto, which originated in Genoa, Italy, comes from the Italian word pestare that means to pound or to bruise. The traditional way of making pesto and still the best way is with mortar and pestle. Typically, pesto is made with fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt and pepper.
Farfalle is a type of pasta, commonly known as "bow Tie Pasta". The name is derived from the Italian word farfalla (butterfly).

Thanks for all of your nice comments. One of the benefits of food photography is that you get to eat it afterwards.
