in English, 'pesto' always means the basil-pine nut sauce; in Italian it is any pounded sauce

⚠️ La trampa

In English, 'pesto' exclusively means the green basil sauce from Liguria. In Italian, 'pesto' just means a paste made by pounding. There is pesto rosso (red, with tomatoes), pesto di pistacchi (pistachio), and many regional variants. Pesto is a method, not just one recipe.

Para decir "in English, 'pesto' always means the basil-pine nut sauce; in Italian it is any pounded sauce" en italiano:

pesto (any pounded sauce) / pesto alla genovese (the classic basil version)

a sauce made by pounding ingredients (from 'pestare' = to pound)

Ejemplo

"Il pesto alla trapanese è fatto con pomodori e mandorle."

"Trapanese pesto is made with tomatoes and almonds."
