A few tips
Are there any cheese lovers among your guests? Add Pearl bocconcini to your ingredients. Dipping them into the broth for a few seconds will make them irresistible.
To turn the leftovers into a delicious soup, cook the vegetables well in the broth, then place them into a good blender. Cover with pesto broth, add a dab of butter and turn it into a smooth cream. Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired.
Depending on your guests’ appetites and the popularity of the pasta, you might need to double the amount of broth provided! Read more: Everything you need to know about broth management.
