I've been trying out alternative pestos. My favourite currently is almond and parsley. I process sliced almonds, flat leaf parsley, garlic, olive oil and parmesan. Tonight I'm serving it with some broad bean - fava - gnocchi as you will see at www.tasteforbologna.blogspot.com
We love pesto for its infinite versatility. From the traditional Ligurian pesto, to Mexican-inspired pepita and cilantro pesto, to a bright-tasting lemon and pistachio variety, these 11 types of pesto are delicious spread on crackers, tossed with pasta, or drizzled over grilled vegetables or meats.

Thank you for educating Saveur readers about the multitude of delicious pestos! One of our favorites is pesto siciliano, southern neighbor to the pesto calabrese featured in the article. Almonds replace the red peppers in this nutty, creamy and spicy concoction. Pesto fans can find the recipe here: http://duespaghetti.com/2011/07/25/pesto-alla-siciliana/
Did they mean "chives" in the sentence "If you can't find scapes, substitute green garlic or a combination of garlic and gives." If that's not a typo, what the heck are "gives."
