Pesto Pasta FAQs
WHAT IS PESTO MADE OF?
There are many different variations of pesto, but the classic pesto alla Genovese is made using basil, extra virgin olive oil, grated cheese (usually Parmigiano Reggiano), pine nuts, garlic and salt.
Classic Pesto alla Genovese recipeIS PESTO VEGETARIAN AND VEGAN FRIENDLY?
A classic pesto alla Genovese is not vegetarian due to the inclusion of Parmigiano Reggiano. However, there are many types of pesto and some of the best are in fact vegan.
VIEW OUR VEGAN PESTO RECIPESWHICH TYPE OF PASTA IS BEST WITH PESTO?
We recommend pairing pesto with a pasta that has curls, grooves or dimples, such as trofie or orecchiette, as these deftly capture the flavoursome sauce. Alternatively, tagliatelle capture pesto with ease, due to their increased surface area.
