Another way to use basil in your food to increase your appetite is to make a sauce for that pasta or penne. Pesto pasta is a delicious and healthy cuisine. Maybe a lot already know about this recipe of red pesto so I want to share the ingredients. The measurement depends on the amount you want as per serving and how to prepare it.
Chop the tomatoes and peppers and place into a blender, (if none, chop into very small pieces) with basil, garlic and pine nuts (optional). Grind to a coarse paste. Add the Parmesan cheese and olive oil.

250g of roast red pepper
