Pesto Sauce Recipe
Pesto sauce, which is one of the leading green sauces, can be served as breakfast with toasted bread slices, and it is also widely used with pasta and sandwich recipes. When preparing pesto sauce, you can use İzmir Tulum or aged cheddar cheese instead of Parmesan. Although the original recipe includes pine nuts, it can also be prepared with walnuts or hazelnuts. But a must, of course, is fresh basil leaves. Bon Appetit!
