Nutrition Tip Pesto comes from the Italian word pestare, meaning to pound or crush. This flavorful condiment is traditionally made of olive oil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, and basil. Pesto is very versatile and can be used to flavor pasta, rice, beans, potatoes, and bread. Try topping it on omelets, chicken, and fish, or turn it into a creamy dressing by adding yogurt. Pesto is not only delicious but also a great source of vitamins A, E, and K.
