Cilantro Pesto with Lemon and Pecorino Romano

4 servings

30 minutes

Cilantro pesto with lemon and pecorino romano is a refined sauce with a bright aroma of fresh herbs and a delicate nutty undertone. This version of classic Italian pesto uses spicy cilantro instead of traditional basil, giving the sauce an Eastern touch. Pecorino romano adds a salty depth of flavor, while lemon juice refreshes and balances all the ingredients. Pine nuts provide softness and a creamy texture, and olive oil brings all components together in a harmonious ensemble. This sauce pairs perfectly with pasta, vegetables, meat or fish, turning any dish into a gastronomic delight.
