CHEF'S NOTE |
|
|
|
To save time, blend the garlic and chives in a mixer while gradually pouring in the oil.
For a more zesty touch, add some aged pecorino cheese scales before serving. |

For this lightly-structured, aromatic and flavoursome dish, try a dry, smooth white, such as a Monterosso Valdarda or a Valcalepio Bianco. |
