Hands-On: Pesto alla Genovese

About this Class: It’s time to get your hands messy! In our hands-on format, our Scuola Chef will prepare the signature dish for you to taste in class. You’ll then dive right in to making the recipe yourself from scratch. Take your culinary creation with you at the end of class and enjoy your own hard work at home!

About this Dish: This bright green and flavorful Pesto is originally from Genoa, Italy. Made from only basil, pine nuts, olive oil, and cheese, Pesto alla Genovese gets its name from the word pestare, meaning to pound or crush, as the traditional method uses a mortar and pestle to mix the sauce.
