measures

How to make

Grate the fragrant Grana Padano cheese on a fine grater or grind it into a powder.

It is ground separately, so that no pieces of it remain and it is usually added to the appetizing pesto at the end.

Add the walnuts, pine nuts, ricotta, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, cream, a little salt and the green leaves of arugula and basil in a blender.

Blend until a smooth mixture is obtained or grind it, in order for it to have pieces of nuts in it.

Finally add Grana Padano powder and mix well.

If desired, dilute the pesto with more cream and olive oil and season with more salt and lemon juice.

Serve this incredibly appetizing pesto with ricotta and walnuts with pre-cooked pasta.

It is also suitable for salads and bruschettas.

Enjoy your meal!
