Last night, realising I didn't have the ingredients to make a fresh pesto sauce (the old-school pesto alla genovese), I used a jar of Sainsbury's own-brand red pesto. Are you noticing a tendency towards Italian-inspired food yet?!
The method & ingredients are pretty much identical to this, minus the shallots, and I used grated Cheddar cheese instead of Parmesan. I also threw in approx 8 fresh basil leaves, each torn in half.
So, although the supermarket-brand red pesto is good, clearly I'm going to have to have a stab at a home-made version- there's a recipe here, which I'll try when I get hold of some more fresh basil.
