Pesto is an Italian recipe for a thick sauce containing olive oil, garlic, pine nuts, basil and parmesan, whereas pistou originated in the Provence region in France, and has the same ingredients except for the pine nuts. That said, the original pistou recipe didn't have hard cheese in it. These days parmesan or another hard cheese is often added to pistou. But no pine nuts!
