- It is always a good idea to use freshly prepared pesto for this recipe. This will ensure that the pesto butter has that bright green color you’re looking for.
- I like to use a simple bowl and a fork to combine all the ingredients together, but if you are making this in a big batch, you can use a food processor to give it all a good mix.
- Remember to add some lemon juice while making pesto. This will help preserve its bright green color.
