The pesto that most of the world knows as the one-and-only "pesto" is, in fact, just one of endless kinds."Pesto" means "pounded," from the verb pestare ("to pound"), because the old-fashioned way to make pesto (and the one that many cooks still swear by) is to pound the ingredients – a mixture of aromatic herbs, salt, garlic, olive oil, cheese, and sometimes nuts – with a mortar and pestle. Add the pesto from the processor and enough cooking water to give a runny sauce that coats the strands of pasta as you work it through with a fork or pasta claw. Put the prepared potato chunks into a large saucepan with enough salted water to take the pasta later, and bring to the boil. You can even taste Genovese pesto spread on toasted bread, as an appetizer. Crush garlic using a mortar and pestle.
