This red pesto hits all the flavor notes that create a perfect condiment: sweet, spicy, and savory all at once. Use this versatile sauce on crostini with ricotta, dolloped on steak or chicken, served with grilled or roasted veggies, and of course - tossed with pasta (just add pasta water and more cheese). You’ll want to make this game-changing pesto on repeat.
