I really like broccoli, it’s a vegetable that I often boil during the cold season and then stir-fry with chili and garlic.
The easy broccoli pesto is delicious, it’s a condiment that is very tasty, perfect for dressing pasta, made with the addition of nuts like pine nuts, almonds, and good extra virgin olive oil.
The pesto is a very tasty condiment that can be prepared with many other ingredients, and in the notes, I’ll leave you other appetizing pasta recipes featuring pesto as a condiment, but now let’s head to the kitchen, shall we???
