Description

This Genoese pesto is a true tribute to Liguria! Prepared with fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan Reggiano and Pecorino cheese, it is a rich and fragrant sauce. The preparation is simple and quick thanks to our faithful Thermomix®. Perfect for seasoning pasta, enriching bruschetta or flavoring main courses. I often prepare it in the summer, when basil is at its best, and keep it in the refrigerator to always have it on hand. A tip? Try it with trofie, a typical Ligurian pasta shape, for an authentic taste experience!
