To use, simply stir the pesto to ensure the oil is well incorporated. For pasta dishes, toss warm pasta directly with a few spoonfuls of pesto until evenly coated. It can also be used as a flavorful spread for sandwiches and wraps, adding a fresh dimension to your fillings. For appetizers, serve it as a dip alongside crusty bread or as a topping for bruschetta. When cooking proteins like chicken or fish, a dollop of pesto can be added during the last few minutes of cooking or served alongside.

How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate the pesto to maintain its freshness. Ensure the surface is covered with a thin layer of olive oil to prevent oxidation and preserve its vibrant color and flavor. It should be consumed within the recommended timeframe after opening for the best quality.
