Last week I mentioned how disappointed I was with Jamie Oliver’s Italian Sausages. Well this time I was trying out his pesto.
To be honest I was a lot more impressed.
Unlike other pesto I have used, this had a lovely smooth flavour, you could taste the basil, you could taste (and feel) the pine nuts, the parmesan was not overpowering as it sometimes can be in pesto and the olive oil was subtle without the harshness of cheap oil you find in some cheap pesto.
It worked well with the linguine I had.
I will be buying it again.
Jamie Oliver, I do like your Pesto!
We’ve just tried. Doesnt taste of anything, literally nothing at all. Its like eating plain pasta – but with green bits all over it.
Never buying it again.
