  • A wonderful, economical Italian meal that is ready in just a few minutes. The pasta is aromatic from this beautiful and healthy basil herb. You only need 10 to 15 minutes to make this dish. You can make pesto Genovese yourself at home, or you can buy it from the well-known brand Barilla or Tigullio, which are really fantastic!
