Pesto
We’ve pushed pesto way beyond pasta - you have a blend on hand for every dish. Dress a summer salad with fresh, lively Pea & Mint Pesto, top bruschetta or grilled asparagus with creamy, summery Truffle & Artichoke Pesto. At breakfast, our Great Taste award-winning Rose Harissa Pesto will spice up scrambled eggs or smashed avocado.
You don’t need much to make an impact. Just 2 tsp per 100g portion of linguine for a classic pesto pasta, or a spoonful of Tomato & Sage Pesto to enrich hearty soups and trays of roast winter veg. You can use a teaspoon or two of pretty much any of the pesto in our range in dips, dressings and marinades (particularly for chicken).
All of them make great stand-alone condiments (try them in your favourite sandwich!) and many are vegan too.
