pesto sauce
Don’t have any basil? No problem. Arugula, mint, kale or spinach offer energizing variations on classic pesto. No pine nuts? Experiment with almonds, hazelnuts or pistachios. Out of Parmesan? Many traditional pesto lovers actually prefer Pecorino Romano. Whether you add this pesto sauce to your pasta, grilled cheese or sandwiches, its healthy dose of chlorophyll – a garden in a jar – can be enjoyed immediately or stored at −18°C in the freezer.
