Cooking tips

  • Using block parmesan cheese grated fresh yields far better flavor than pre-grated powdered versions.
  • Avoid using spinach stems as they can impart bitterness; stick to the leafy parts for a cleaner result.
  • Do not overcook the pasta in the sauce on high heat, as this dulls the vibrant green color and diminishes the pesto’s aroma—remove from heat or stir gently over low flame.
  • Extra lemon juice and olive oil added to the finished pesto can transform it into a delicious salad dressing.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a sophisticated, wine bar-style pasta at home.
  • People looking to try a spinach-based alternative pesto due to high basil prices.
  • Fans of the aromatic, earthy flavor of truffle oil.
