Cooking tips
- If storing pesto in the fridge for up to a week, do not add salt beforehand—season just before use to prevent the sauce from becoming too salty.
- When grilling chicken breast, cover the pan and periodically add pasta water and butter to prevent moisture loss, resulting in an exceptionally tender, non-dry texture.
