Pesto Rosso translates to ‘red pesto’ and is a Sicilian dish. The pesto is made by combining sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, toasted pine nuts, Grana Padano (or Parmigiano Reggiano), lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and salt and pepper for seasoning. This pesto pairs really well with baked artisan bread, grilled chicken and, of course, pasta. Honestly this pesto is magic whatever you pair it with. The flavour is so unique, bold but not overpowering with a hint of nuttiness, a li’l bit of tart and some sweetness from the sun dried tomatoes.
