Pesto Rosso – Sicilian-Style Red Pesto with Tomatoes, Parmesan & Cashews

Pesto Rosso is a rich, tomato-based Sicilian-style pesto that offers a flavorful alternative to traditional green pesto. Made with sun-dried or blended tomatoes as its base, it delivers a deep, savory taste with subtle sweetness and herbaceous notes.

Unlike Genoese pesto, which relies heavily on basil and pine nuts, Pesto Rosso incorporates ingredients like cashews, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and a lighter touch of basil. Carrot purée enhances its vibrant red color while adding gentle natural sweetness and balance.
