We’d all agree that Italian gastronomy and Mexican gastronomy are some of the most popular cuisines all over the world.

Just in a Superbowl Sunday, in the US, about 45 million pounds of avocados are consumed in the form of creamy guacamole!

On the other hand, pesto is one of the most famous sauces in Italian gastronomy … and used all over the world! 

You probably have one pesto jar in your fridge and one ready-to-eat avocado in your kitchen countertop right now. Let’s do something about it!.

We have decided to mix these two super hits of international gastronomy to offer you a deliciously creamy and aromatic recipe: Italian-style guacamole with pesto and parmesan.

Do you dare to try it?

Bon appetit, Buon Appetito!
