Recipe for Pesto from Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking: 30th Anniversary Edition by Marcella Hazan

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

This amazing cookbook combines two of Marcela’s classic books. The classic pesto recipe is one to make over and over. I got lost in the pasta sauce chapter. You will too. Next on my list: Chicken Fricassee, Cacciatore Style; Green Beans Pasticcio; and apple fritters.
