Pesto sauce is prepared by keeping basil leaves as a base with some other ingredients, but what makes it unique in our eyes is that it's completely different from those Alfredo or Arrabiata variants that can be found everywhere. And of course, because it's green. It's flavourful, and the method of preparation is also pretty simple. So, give it a try if you love some authentic Italian cuisine.
