🍷 The Taste Ambassador recommends:
Given the richness of savory ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes and capers, I advise against adding too much salt to the pasta cooking water. The fatal mistake? Cooking the pesto directly in a pan over high heat: you risk burning the fennel and muddying the mushroom flavor! Pour the preserve into a bowl, dilute it with half a ladle of starch-rich pasta water to create a smooth cream, and toss the pasta with the heat turned off. For crostini, however, spread it cold onto homemade bread that is well-toasted and still steaming.
