This deliciously fresh pesto is typical in the Sicilian town of Trapani. Summer time is the best time to make it as tomatoes are flavourful and abundant. Make up a batch and dress up your favourite pasta or make it low carb by using zucchini noodles. You can use any leftover pesto to dress paninis or top bruschetta.

If you want to make this the traditional way, use a mortar and pestle rather than a food processor. Basil is the herb of choice for this recipe, but you can use other herbs you may have in your garden. This pesto takes only a few ingredients so it is easy and quick to make. Add some grilled salmon or chicken and a salad on the side for a quick summertime meal.
