Serving Suggestions & Cooking Instructions

Preparation: To preserve the bright green colour and the delicate aroma of the fresh Italian basil, never heat this pesto in a pan or microwave. High temperatures will cause the basil to oxidise and turn bitter.

Method: Stir the pesto into your pasta at room temperature once it has been drained. Always reserve 2–3 tablespoons of the hot pasta cooking water; adding this to the pesto creates a silky, pourable consistency that coats every strand perfectly.

The Ligurian Tradition: For the most authentic experience, serve with Rummo Trofie or Linguine, boiled together with small cubes of potato and trimmed green beans—this is the classic “Pesto alla Genovese” preparation.

Gourmet Topping: A versatile kitchen staple; use a dollop to finish a minestrone soup, swirl it into creamy mashed potatoes, or use it as a vibrant dressing for a Caprese salad with buffalo mozzarella and heritage tomatoes.

Easy Appetisers: Spread over toasted ciabatta or use as a dip for breadsticks. It also makes an excellent base for a “white” pizza, added immediately after baking to keep the flavour fresh and herbaceous.
