The Pesto alla Genovese from I vasetti di Riccardo is the secret touch to make every pasta dish unique. The traditional pairing is with trofie, but in summer, I recommend trying it as a filling for cherry tomatoes for a delicious appetizer.
Don’t have trofie and have a little time? Use it to make a lasagna with stracchino or ricotta.
The Ligurian tradition also includes it as an ingredient in minestrone, to be added at the end of cooking. And if you feel like daring, try enhancing a zucchini or potato and leek soup with a spoonful of pesto: a touch of basil never hurts.
