Background
“In Napoli, where love is king…” This pesto recipe is one “Mombo Italiano” flavor married perfectly to our robust Flagship sauce. Pesto fusilli alla scilliana, LOOK OUT. This is a meal all on its own, a savory force to be reckoned with. If you love pesto and love cheese – you struck gold because this is the easiest and tastiest combination of the two you’ll find!
Cooking and Serving Tips
Making pesto at home is a quick process and the ingredient list is simple enough. You can make a tasty (and fresh) pesto with just pine nuts, parmesan, basil, olive oil, and salt. Combine the ingredients in a food processor until a thick paste-like substance forms. In a pinch, there are also tons of delicious in-store options for pesto. Pro tip: “World’s Best” Mac & Cheese is also easy to find at grocery stores so you can cover all your bases in one trip!
Serve & Store
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy hot. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3 to 5 days.
