Keto Pesto sauce is a versatile sauce that pairs fantastically with many dishes, like pasta, in sandwiches, with chicken meat, or roasted sea bass. Nowadays, in stores, many pesto sauces are available either bio, organic, or regular. But when a pesto sauce recipe can be made in just 5 minutes at home, then the reason for not making it is simply inexplicable. I have tried some bought pesto sauces. They are okay, but at home, I try to use the freshest and most aromatic basil leaves, pine nuts, the best pecorino and parmesan cheese to obtain one of the most delicious pestos in the world.
