صلصة أهل جنوة

<div align=right dir=rtl>
لقد تميّز أهل مدينة جنوة المتواجدة في الشّمال الغربي من ايطاليا بهذه الأكلة التي ذاع صوتها ليس فقط في ايطاليا بل حتى في خارجها. فلقد قام أهالي هذه البلدة بجمع
1- وريقات من الحبق الأخضر
2- فص ثوم
3- حبات من الصّنوبر
4- قليلا من الملح
وضع الكل في هاون وقاموا بدقه فحصلوا على مدقوق لهذه الأكلة سموه pesto أي المدقوق .
وفي الأخير أضيف لهذا الخليط الغذائي قليلا من زيت الزيتون ورشة من الجبن لتصبح هذه الأكلة اللذيذة مرجعا لأهلها.

'pesto alla genovese'

Sorry for writing in English. I'm Italian and I know well this speciality of Genua (à la genoise, made like in Genua). The name is written uncorrectly in French. Pesto is a special sauce made of basilikum and pine seeds which we put on the pasta.

After my opinion, you should leave the original name in Italian and clear in ( ) what it is..

Of course I'm not interested in points in this language combination, I just wanted to be nice to you. You never heard of 'pesto' down there, didn't you?

Ciao

Italians say only 'pesto' because most of them know it's a speciality of that town.

Now - lot of variations have come on the market in the meanwhile - when they say 'pesto alla genovese' it's to point out they they prepare it after the original recipe (a lot a pine seeds, terribly expensive now - hand made the whole of it, a lot of hours necessary to prepare it and so on...).

If you say in Arabic something like 'hand-made pesto' or 'original pesto' should be ok, I suppose.

Ciao!
Note from asker:
Thanks for your generosity. being a big fan of Italian food I understand what pesto is, it's the part "a la genoise" I am interested in. I think I will take your advice I keep it as is.
