However Basil is only one of many flavorful greens that can become the heart of a rich, flavorful pesto or paste. A wide variety of flavorful leafy greens, such as mints, kale, garlic mustard, parsley, spinach, sage, dandelion greens, cilantro and arugula, can be used to make pesto and herb pastes. Pestos and pastes can be with or without cheese, nuts and garlic. We will taste a wide variety of pestos and discuss the ingredients used.
