Pesto Twists

Place the twists on a baking tray, brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds (optional). Bake for 15 minutes at 180°C, and they're ready!
Caprese Salad with Pesto
Cut 4 tomatoes into thin slices and arrange them on a large plate. Place a ball of Mozzarella di Bufala in the centre and add a handful of mixed salad leaves. In a bowl, mix 1 jar of our Basil & Seaweed Pesto with a few tablespoons of olive oil to loosen it up. Spread the pesto over the plate and finish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Serve chilled!
Bruschetta with Pesto and Grilled Vegetables
Cut southern vegetables into cubes: courgettes, aubergines, peppers, etc. Fry them in a pan for 10 minutes with olive oil. Spread one of our pestos (of your choice) on slices of Bruschetta bread, top with the vegetables and add Ricotta. Bake for 5 minutes at 200°C. Bon appétit!
