Not only is this pesto magic by itself, but with the grilled vegetables and tagliatelle this dinner rises above most pasta dishes. It´s incredible easy to make and is very versatile. The ingredients couldn’t be any simpler. This simple pesto brings summery flavor to all sorts of dishes. You should definitely add it to your must make list. Every time I served it people ask for the recipe!

It goes well with meat, fish and even shrimps are great options to serve with this dish. If you want to add something extra I usually serve this pesto, vegetables tagliatelle as it is or with grilled chicken.
