How to use it

Pesto is a sauce, that is used cold and does not need cooking. It is mainly used to flavour pasta, any kind is suitable: spaghetti, bavette, trenette, lasagne, trofie, gnocchi di patate.
The genoese people also use it in the minestrone.
It can be used to flavour boiled potatoes.
My tip: melt your pesto with a little bit of cooking water, but do not water it down.
