Pesto is a traditional Italian pasta sauce, usually made by grinding together garlic, basil leaves, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese. It is a nice, fragrant, herbal sauce that is a vibrant green in colour. Since it is hard to get pine nuts here in the Maldives, we have used almonds instead.
As for the spaghetti, we used Armando Spaghetti, provided to us by one of our partners, Standard and Origin (S&O). Armando Spaghetti is a product of Italy, made from 100% Italian durum wheat. It has a nice, bouncy texture when cooked and is quick and easy to prepare.
