Red pesto

About red pesto
There are several sauces which may be referred to as Red Pesto.


 * Pesto alla siciliana, also called pesto rosso, is a sauce from Sicily similar to Genovese pesto but with the addition of tomato, almonds instead of pine nuts and much less basil.
 * Pesto alla calabrese is a sauce from Calabria consisting of (grilled) bell peppers, black pepper and more; these ingredients give it a distinctively spicy taste.
 * Pesto alla genovese is made with Genovese basil, salt, garlic, Ligurian extra virgin olive oil (Taggiasco), European pine nuts (often toasted) and a grated hard cheese such as Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano, Pecorino Sardo or Pecorino Romano.
