Anyone who’s a pesto fan can tell you how hard it is to nail down the perfect pesto. The variations come from the use of different types of nuts (walnuts, cashew and even almonds) and combination of greens (basil, arugula, parsley).

This dish uses the classic basil pesto recipe which originated from Genoa, and it works. Sometimes simplicity is all you need :) Loved the unique spin on the dish with crumbled boiled potatoes and grilled cucumbers, which is well-blended with the pesto and goes surprisingly well with the other elements. Altogether, a pretty comforting dish.
