Dried Porcini & Walnut Pesto

🥗 Serving Ideas:

Toss with hot pasta 🍝 (reserve some pasta water to loosen the sauce).

Spread on toasted sourdough 🥖 for a quick gourmet bruschetta.

Use as a dip with raw veggies 🥕🥒.

Layer in a sandwich 🥪 with cheese and grilled veggies.

🔥 Cooking Tip: The pesto is delicious raw, but when stirred into hot pasta, add a spoon of cooking water at the last moment to make it silky without losing texture.

🧊 Storage: Store in an airtight jar topped with a thin layer of olive oil 🫒 in the fridge for up to 5 days. It also freezes well ❄️.

🌱 Vegan Option: Swap Parmesan with nutritional yeast for a plant-based version 🌿.
