Preparing the coffin sandwiches for Halloween is really simple and quick.

Now prepare a cream by mixing the ricotta with the Genovese pesto or another pesto of your choice.
Spread half of the coffins with the pesto.
Place half a slice of cooked ham folded on top of the pesto so it doesn’t stick out too much from the sandwich edges
