Basil is the most beloved aromatic herb in Italian cooking, the absolute star of Genovese pesto, a sauce symbolizing Liguria and recognized as a traditional regional food product. But its sweet, intense aroma goes well beyond: it flavors salads, pizzas, desserts and even cocktails. This ebook gathers 100 recipes to discover the full versatility of this extraordinary plant.
A recipe collection starting from the Ligurian tradition of mortar-pounded pesto to explore creative uses of basil, from first courses to desserts, including alternative sauces and unusual pairings.
Recipes like authentic Genovese pesto with basil, pine nuts, garlic and parmesan, minestrone alla genovese, trofie pasta with pesto, potatoes and green beans, summer salads with tomato and mozzarella, and surprising sweet ideas like basil panna cotta or lemon and basil cream tart. Also included: regional variations like Sicilian pesto with tomatoes and ricotta.
Anyone who loves Mediterranean summer flavors, fans of Ligurian cuisine and its traditions, and home gardeners growing basil on a balcony or in a garden who want to use it beyond the usual pesto.
Because basil is much more than a pesto ingredient: it's an aromatic herb able to surprise even in desserts. This ebook is the ideal guide to rediscover it in classic recipes and unexpected pairings.
