Which pasta shape is best for which sauce?
Pasta is one of life’s great pleasures and always a hit on the menu. But what do you need to know to make your pasta dishes stand out from the rest?
4 smart ways to use pesto
The Italian sauce is destined for much more than pasta. Try these ways to brighten your menu.
1
Dressing
Add a teaspoon of pesto to your favourite salad dressing for a quick and easy boost of Mediterranean flavour. You can loosen pesto with a little oil and use it to dress grilled or baked fish, too.
2
Butter
Stir pesto through softened butter, roll into a log and refrigerate until set. Slice and serve with fresh, warm bread. Push pesto butter under the skin of a whole chicken before roasting to infuse the meat, or stir through warm new potatoes.
3
Pizza
Spread pesto over a pizza base, dot with ricotta or mozzarella cheese, and bake until cooked. Scatter with rocket and a drizzle of oil before serving for an alternative green pizza.
4
Sandwiches
Mix with mayo to brighten up a chicken sandwich, or slather onto a cheese toastie for a warm hint of basil.
