Pesto della Mamma Ricotta 180g/6.3oz

This tomato-based pesto with basil, ricotta cheese and walnuts is a must-have! It can be used like any traditional pesto on pasta or as a sauce on chicken, fish and white meats.

Each ingredient of this sauce is rich in tradition and when blended together it makes a sauce robust in flavor and versatility. It starts with San Marzano Tomatoes which are famous among chefs. The thick, meatiness of the flesh and fewer seeds, give it a sweeter, less acidic quality that is preferred in sauces. Added to this is a local Sicilian ricotta cheese. Ricotta means “recooked” and ricotta is more of a creamy curd than a cheese. The freshness of the ricotta adds another layer of sweet creaminess to this sauce.
