This month we bring you the savory and Genovese version of the typical rolled and stuffed preparation: the Strudel with winter vegetables with the addition of Pesto Fresco.
The rustic flavor of Savoy cabbage with potatoes, made extremely appetizing by the addition of Pesto Fresco Genovese, which gives that touch of liguriosity and makes this dish a real winter treat to be enjoyed at dinner or for an aperitif, served warm or, even better, lukewarm.
Here is the recipe by chef Gian Luca Cellerino!
