Does your mouth water when you think of fresh basil pesto? Oh, mine does. I love summer for all the fresh fruits and vegetables, but mostly for the fresh basil in my garden and the reasonably priced large packages of basil at the market.
Hi Slow Roasters, thank you for joining us to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of The Slow Roasted Italian during TSRI's Summer Grilling Celebration. We shared an amazingly delicious Tuscan Summer Sun-dried Tomato Burger with you that had an fantastically flavorful and bright pesto on the toasted ciabatta bun.
This Simply Delicious Classic Fresh Basil Pesto was amazing using Bella Sun Luci's Extra Virgin Olive Oil. A fruity and fragrant olive oil that is a treat to the palate, combined with the rich and spicy, slightly peppery flavor of the fresh basil, it is a perfect match. A Tuscan Summer Sun-dried Tomato Burger served over a bed of Simply Delicious Classic Fresh Basil Pesto would then be a match made in heaven.
This pesto is wonderfully aromatic and scrumptious with the fresh flavors of basil, toasted pignolis, garlic, olive oil and a hint of Parmigiano-Reggiano. Whether it is poured over a bowl of fresh pasta, spread on bruschetta, or served with your favorite burger, you are going to LOVE LOVE LOVE this pesto!
