When looking for the origin of a recipe, it is usual to dig in the most ancient stories of a population, but for pesto this is not the case.

It is in fact a rather recent recipe, born from the need of the poorer classes to have nutritious food without using meat.

Trenette with pesto

It was the merchant ships that sailed from Liguria to export pesto all over the world, starting from La Boca. The colorful neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina, owes its name to its Ligurian counterpart Boccadasse.
