This is not pesto, but rather a simple puree of the BEST Genovese basil, exquisite extra virgin olive and a little salt. The result is a pure expression of basil. We like to whisk a little into a vinaigrette for a chicken salad...2 parts olive oil, 1 part lemon juice, 1 part basil paste - tossed with poached and shredded chicken, cherry tomatoes, diced celery and a few black olives.
