Bring a little flavour into your life with this zippy, bright, and fresh mint pesto. It's made with loads of fresh mint, pecorino, and almonds.

Mint pesto is good with a variety of shapes. You can use any pasta format, from farfalle, orecchiette, fusilli to linguine or spaghetti.

Mint pesto — just like the more traditional basil-made, Genovese pesto –– is not cooked so the quality of the ingredients used in the preparation will make all the difference.

In this recipe, just as in all other Italian recipes, really, try to get original, made in Italy ingredients: the taste and the quality of your dish will be so much better. You can get authentic Italian Gourmet Ingredients ON THIS LINK.
