Two ingredients firmly rooted in Mediterranean cuisine, which give this preparation its identity and make it suitable for a variety of recipes, from first courses to appetisers.

Basil has always played a leading role in numerous Italian culinary preparations. Its use in condiments adds character to pasta dishes, sauces and accompaniments, while almonds are widely used in Sicilian gastronomy, in both sweet and savoury recipes. In Vasiliscò green pesto, these two ingredients form the central combination, as indicated by the product name.

In the kitchen, this basil and almond pesto can be used to dress pasta, choosing short or long shapes according to personal preference. To distribute it easily, simply mix it with freshly drained pasta, adding a little cooking water if necessary. It can also be used to finish a risotto or enhance grain-based dishes, becoming part of recipes suitable for lunch or dinner.

Its uses are not limited to first courses. Basil pesto can also be used to prepare bruschetta and crostini, served with open sandwiches and appetisers, or used as an ingredient for filling panini and sandwiches.
