Pesto (pronounced PEH-stoh) is an uncooked sauce made with fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan and/or pecorino cheese and olive oil.
WE LOVE THIS PAN
No more bending your spaghetti to get it all in the boiling water. The pan's wide oval shape takes up minimal space when the stovetop is crowded. The handles have nonslip, heat-resistant silicone grips, and a helper handle on this pot makes draining and carrying much easier.
Roasted tomato sauce has a concentrated, deep tomato flavor. Fresh plum tomatoes are cut in half, lightly seasoned, and roasted in the oven for less than an hour.
Roasting garlic mellows its sharp flavor and lends it a sweet, caramelized taste. Stir it into sauces or salad dressings, spread it on sandwiches, or add it to dips or pizza.

FOOD MILL
I've owned several food mills over the years, and in my opinion, this one is the best. The advantage of a food mill over a food processor or blender is that it separates the skins and seeds from the fruit or vegetable pulp. It is the perfect tool for preparing fresh purees, sauces, and soups.
