For a richer flavor, use homemade pesto. Serve over pasta, rice, or with a side of roasted vegetables. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for an elegant touch. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of chicken broth at a time until desired consistency is reached. For spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
