Pesto, made from a combination of basil, pine nuts, olive oil and garlic, is a delightful summer treat. Whether you buy a jar from the store or make it at home, this garlicky sauce is your go-to when hunger strikes. Not only does it go well with pasta, but it can also be a versatile ingredient in all sorts of other dishes.

You can even store it as a freezer staple and enjoy it as and when you please.
