With this Pasta al Pesto gift box, making a glorious genovese dinner seems stupidly simple. Yes, essentially all you have to do is mix the pesto into the hot pasta. But, there are a few tricks for pesto perfection that we'd like to share. This is how we do it: 

-Cook the Linguine al dente in a pot of boiling salted water

-Drain, saving some pasta water

-Scoop the pesto into the pasta, mix well

-Add about 1 tablespoon of pasta water to the empty jar

-Close the lid, shake, then pour the contents of the jar into the pasta

-Stir vigorously until the pasta becomes creamy

-Serve immediately 

All Gustiamo gifts have the option of including a gift card at checkout.
