"A pesto, made with basil, sun-dried tomatoes, cashew nuts and cheese.
Ideas on how to use it abound: for pasta with a creamy sauce, with the addition of freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano, or on a gourmet bruschetta with slightly toasted bread; or also as the ingredient of a panino for a luxury picnic, with fine cheese or slightly smoked cured meat, such as thinly sliced Prague ham.
Do friends often stay over for dinner at your place? Keep a stock in the pantry, it is the tastiest ingredient for delicious last-minute dishes and fun aperi-dinners."
