Green Sichuan Pepper Genovese Pesto Penne Pasta
How to better use ChinEAT green Sichuan Pepper Grains and oil? Try this pasta recipe out!
Penne with Pesto alla Genovese is by far one of our favorite Italian pasta recipes. This dish is all about aromatics, with the charming basil being the protagonist of this sensational encounter. We decided to build a bridge here between an Italian classic, and the most beloved Sichuan spice, Green Sichuan Pepper. It is not just a great harmony of colors, both being green, but it is finding a balance of two great fragrances that, believe us, make this a perfect multicultural marriage.
