Expert Tips

Look for fresh asparagus that is bright green with firm, unopened tips. To trim, snap off the tough ends where they break naturally. If desired, use a vegetable peeler to remove the outer layer of the spears.

Store unused pesto in the refrigerator. Use later for pastas, soups or sandwiches.
