A Fusilli Pesto Pasta with Indian Fusion Pesto Sauce, using Mint leaves Coriander Leaves, Cheese and garlic Pasta with Pesto Sauce Recipe | Pesto Pasta Sauce Recipe | Veg Pesto Pasta | Pasta and Pesto Recipe | Recipe for Pesto Pasta Have been to Afzal gunj recently and bought loads of Fusilli Pasta from one of the local grocery store. You must be thinking, why I am telling this to you? This line was specifically for all my Hyderabadi readers. For those, who stay nearby to Hitech City or IT zone and great fan of Pasta. Visit any of the Grocery shop near Osmania Hospital (Afzul Gunj) and you can get any types of Pasta (macaroni, fusilli or penne) at very cheap rates. So, now as you know why Fusilli Pasta cooked today in my kitchen. Lets get back to our recipe. Making pesto at home is very easy and cost effective too, instead of store bought dip /sauce. Pesto was originated from genoa in the linguria region of northern italy. Traditional Pesto consist of crushed garlic, basil and european pine nuts with cheese, salt and finally blended with olive oil. In this Pesto Sauce I am using Mint leaves along with Coriander Leaves, Cheese and garlic. Now, since I leave in India basil leaves are not easily available. So, I changed this recipe to include Coriander Leaves and replaced Pine Nuts with Almonds. And trust me friends final result is yummy creamy textured pesto paste. You can store it for a week in Refrigerator and use it as a spread on Breads or Sandwiches. Be innovative and use this pesto sauce in different ways and post it in comments, how did you modified this recipe to your own choice.
