Tip
Great for oven-baked fish/chicken, sandwiches, toasts and pastas. Due to the tendency of basil to blacken in contact with air, it is recommended to keep it with a little olive oil over the spread to give it a protective layer.
The pesto spread is relatively spicy because of the fresh garlic so be careful with the amount of black pepper. The spices in the recipe are according to personal taste.
