What is Tukaş Pesto Sauce?
Tukaş Pesto Sauce is a jarred, basil-forward take on pesto, the aromatic sauce associated with Italian cooking. Pesto is commonly made with basil, oil, cheese and nuts, and is used in small amounts to add a concentrated savoury flavour to meals.
Its smooth, rich texture is easy to stir through warm pasta, spread in a sandwich or spoon over roasted vegetables. In Turkey, it can also bring a quick herby note to toast or a simple pasta supper; elsewhere, it is often served with pasta or used as a dip and sandwich spread. The sauce is rich in fat, so a modest spoonful usually goes a long way. Pair it with fresh tomato or a squeeze of lemon for a brighter, lighter-tasting meal.
