The pesto that most of the world knows as the one-and-only "pesto" is, in fact, just one of endless kinds."Pesto" means "pounded," from the verb pestare ("to pound"), because the old-fashioned way to make pesto (and the one that many cooks still swear by) is to pound the ingredients – a mixture of aromatic herbs, salt, garlic, olive oil, cheese, and sometimes nuts – with a mortar and pestle. Handmade pesto is indeed better because the ingredients have been worked less, but blender pesto is fine as long as you use the finest, freshest ingredients available. This pesto may be tossed with spaghetti, maccheroni, linguine, or the classic Ligurian pastas, trofie or trenette.
Instructions to make Pesto Genovese & Bell Pepper Pasta Sauce:
- Preheat your oven to about 200℃ and bake the paprika. Once the peels become blackened, wrap in aluminum foil, let sit for a few minutes, then peel.
- A good way to remove the paprika peel - after baking, cover with a cold cloth. After a few minutes, you'll be able to remove the peel.
- Cut the paprika into whatever size you like, and put in a blender together with the heavy cream. If you're not using heavy cream, then add olive oil.
- Boil the pasta al dente. Add some oil to a frying pan and cook the onions, then add the sauce from Step 3, along with the genovese, tomato sauce, and chili.
- Drain the pasta and add to the frying pan. You can also add cheese here if you like. Transfer to a serving plate, and garnish with more cheese and black pepper if you like.
- I made this one without heavy cream. In Step 3 add the paprika and 3 tablespoons of olive oil to the blender and mix. Then proceed to Step 4.

Pesto is a generic Italian name for any sauce made by pounding ingredients together. The best known of these is pesto Genovese, usually shortened in the UK to just pesto.
