[edit] The traditional method should come first

I suggest to invert the sequency of methods, to the more logic one: a) traditional method using a mortar...... etc b) the modern method (I would call it mechanic, and not modern) comes only after,

Further to this I suggest to better highlight that the traditional (normal) method is preferable to the modern one for many reasons (some of them are already included into the recepy) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Luigi.tessiore (talk • contribs) .

Agreed. Also, pignoli are not optional. Toasted pine nuts are ESSENTIAL to pesto. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.60.18.106 (talk • contribs) .

Not all pestos contain pignoli, or toasted pine nuts. For instance, my mother's family is Italian, and they don't use toasted pine nuts in their pesto at all. It's just basil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. For creamy pesto, they would add cream cheese. Marcus2 (talk) 14:58, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
