  • Preparation

    SAUCE PREPARATION

    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.
