Corn pesto with bacon

Pesto Italian cuisine

This dish can’t actually be pesto, because pesto is a green blend of basil, parmesan, and nuts. Right? Wrong. This is pesto with corn. Get your head around it. And this pesto is actually particularly special, because in addition to corn being sweet and distinctive and delicious, when you blend it, it gets creamy and saucy without even adding cream. That’s all I have to say. Well, actually, one more thing… I added bacon.
