Sun-dried tomato pesto is a refined Italian sauce filled with the rich, deep flavors of the Mediterranean. Its intense aroma of sun-dried tomatoes, creamy texture of hard cheese, and nutty hint of pine nuts create a harmonious ensemble. Originally, classic pesto was made with basil, but this version offers a more intense and sweet-spicy note thanks to the sun-dried tomatoes. The sauce pairs perfectly with pasta, meat, fish, and even as a spread on bread. Its preparation is incredibly simple, and storing it in the fridge allows you to enjoy this vibrant flavor for weeks. Sun-dried tomato pesto is a gastronomic journey to Italy in every spoon!
