Nelly's Cheesy Basil Pesto Recipe
Ingredients:
1/2 cup pine nuts (Can substitute with 1/4 cup walnuts OR pistachios and 1/4 cup pine nuts)
3 tablespoons chopped garlic (9 cloves)
5 cups fresh basil leaves (I like to almost fill my food processor cup)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Approximately 1 cup good olive oil
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan
Directions:
To make the pesto, put the pine nuts and garlic in a food processor. Turn it on and blend for 30 seconds. Then, add the basil leaves, salt, and pepper. Keep blending while you slowly drizzle the olive oil into the bowl through the feed tube. Blend until the pesto is smooth and well mixed. Add the Parmesan and blend for another 30 seconds or so. Put in a container and drizzle olive oil on top gently to cover the pesto. Enjoy right away or keep the pesto in the fridge or freezer. Great with bread, pasta, chicken, etc.

History of Basil Pesto
Basil Pesto, also known as Pesto alla Genovese, is a traditional Italian sauce that originated in Genoa, the capital city of Liguria, Italy. The name “pesto” is derived from the Genoese verb “pestâ”, which means “to pound” or “to crush”, referring to the original method of preparation.
The main ingredients of Pesto are basil leaves, garlic, European pine nuts, coarse salt, and hard cheese such as Parmigiano-Reggiano (also known as Parmesan cheese) or Pecorino Sardo (cheese made from sheep’s milk), all blended with olive oil.
Pesto is thought to have had two predecessors in ancient times, going back as far as the Roman age. The ancient Romans used to eat a similar paste called moretum, which was made by crushing garlic, salt, cheese, herbs, olive oil, and vinegar (and sometimes pine nuts) together. During the Middle Ages, a popular sauce in the Genoan cuisine was agliata, which was a mash of garlic and walnuts.
The introduction of basil, the main ingredient of modern pesto, occurred in more recent times and is first documented only in the mid-19th century when gastronomist Giovanni Battista Ratto published his book La Cuciniera Genovese in 1863. He described the method of making pesto with a marble mortar and wooden pestle.
Today, Pesto alla Genovese remains the most popular pesto in Italy and the rest of the world.

SUMMARY
=======
Genoa ( JEN-oh-ə; Italian: Genova [ˈdʒɛːnova] (listen); Ligurian: Zêna [ˈzeːna]; English, historically, and Latin: Genua) is the capital of the Italian region of Liguria and the sixth-largest city in Italy. In 2015, 594,733 people lived within the city's administrative limits. As of the 2011 Italian census, the Province of Genoa, which in 2015 became the Metropolitan City of Genoa, counted 855,834 resident persons. Over 1.5 million people live in the wider metropolitan area stretching along the Italian Riviera.Located on the Gulf of Genoa in the Ligurian Sea, Genoa has historically been one of the most important ports on the Mediterranean: it is currently the busiest in Italy and in the Mediterranean Sea and twelfth-busiest in the European Union. Genoa has been nicknamed la Superba (the proud one) due to its glorious past and impressive landmarks. Part of the old town of Genoa was inscribed on the World Heritage List (UNESCO) in 2006 as Genoa: Le Strade Nuove and the system of the Palazzi dei Rolli. The city's rich cultural history in art, music and cuisine allowed it to become the 2004 European Capital of Culture. It is the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, Andrea Doria, Niccolò Paganini, Giuseppe Mazzini, Renzo Piano and Grimaldo Canella, founder of the House of Grimaldi, among others.
Genoa, which forms the southern corner of the Milan-Turin-Genoa industrial triangle of Northwest Italy, is one of the country's major economic centers. The city has hosted massive shipyards and steelworks since the 19th century, and its solid financial sector dates back to the Middle Ages. The Bank of Saint George, founded in 1407, is among the oldest in the world and has played an important role in the city's prosperity since the middle of the 15th century. Today a number of leading Italian companies are based in the city, including Fincantieri, Selex ES, Ansaldo Energia, Ansaldo STS, Edoardo Raffinerie Garrone, Piaggio Aerospace, Mediterranean Shipping Company and Costa Cruises.
