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.
