The aubergine pesto is perfect for a quick and simple pasta dish and it is also excellent for canapés. This sauce can be prepared in advance, in large quantities and stored in the freezer to be used as needed. Especially if we use healthy, home-grown products from our own vegetable garden, for a super ORGANIC sauce. User generated recipes have not been re-tested by Kenwood.
