Linguine Pesto Sauce & Scallops

This is a vibrant and fresh Italian pasta dish, emblematic of the Liguria region, particularly Genoa. It pairs delicate linguine pasta with the iconic, uncooked Pesto Genovese sauce.

The dish is traditionally simple and light, allowing the powerful, fresh flavor of the basil and olive oil to be the star. Sometimes, boiled potatoes and green beans are added to the same pot as the pasta and tossed with the pesto for an even more authentic Ligurian preparation.
