Pesto is an essential staple in almost every kitchen. There are so many ways and varieties you can make too. It’s tastes great, easy to make and is so versatile to use. As I just said before, it’s very simple to make so don’t stress. Just let the ingredients do all the work for you. If I can suggest just one thing when you make this is please use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
I just love the smells it gives off while your making it. I love to spread it on some crusty bread with a pinch of pecorino on top. Yum!
