✨Pesto alla Trapanese✨ (a western Sicilian staple) blends peak-season cherry tomatoes, toasted almonds, basil, mint, and olive oil with Parmigiano Reggiano. It comes together in minutes—often before the pasta is done—yielding a bright, subtly nutty sauce that captures Mediterranean summer. Enjoy with weeknight pastas, grilled seafood, or simply serve with crusty bread.
