Recipe Details
This recipe is a tribute to the amazing versatility of classic basil pesto Genovese (Genoese style). In Genoa’s home region of Liguria, cooks serve it with pasta, gnocchi, or lasagne and even add a spoonful to minestrone or spread it on crusty bread. Here we propose yet another way to use this delicious flavor-packed sauce: for breakfast!
Ingredients
