Traditionally
made with basil, garlic, pine nuts, and parmesan cheese, pesto sauce is one of
our favorite vegetarian pasta sauces. But the beauty of Italian cuisine is
that, when you choose fresh and complementary seasonal ingredients, you can
rediscover almost any sauce or dish and turn it into a healthier version of the
original. This pesto with green beans is a prime example of taking a classic
recipe and adding fresh ingredients that enhance his health intelligence, and
taste.
