"With this recipe, you can celebrate the tasty transition from winter to spring. The bitter taste of walnuts is a perfect match to ricotta, while the whole flavor is softened by basil and tomato paste. Depending on the meal, you might want to enjoy it with a glass of red wine. However, the best part is to wipe the rest of pesto with a slice of ciabatta bread. Just can’t get enough!"
