RECIPE BY Jessica | Chef & Author
Asparagus pesto is a refreshing and innovative take on the classic pesto that captures the delicate flavor of asparagus beautifully. This recipe offers a delicious way to make the most of the current asparagus season and turn the vegetable into a creamy and flavorful sauce. The mild, slightly nutty taste of asparagus goes very well with Parmesan and pecorino, as well as the pine nuts. This pesto is ideal as a pasta sauce, spread or dip.

Directions
  • First remove the woody ends of the asparagus. Peel the stalks a little to remove impurities. Then wash thoroughly.
  • Bring a pot with water and a little salt to a boil and cook the asparagus in it for about 20 minutes. Then remove it, drain and leave to cool.
  • Then put the cooked asparagus in the cup of the hand blender. Grate the parmesan and pecorino and add to the cup along with the pine nuts and basil.
  • Add a little olive oil and mix gently on low speed with the hand blender. Gradually add the remaining olive oil until the pesto has a nice creamy consistency. Finally, season with salt and enjoy!

Tip

If you put the pesto in a small jar and seal it with a layer of olive oil, it will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
The asparagus pesto tastes great with any kind of pasta, but also as a delicious spread on bread!
