If the Home Chef kitchen had a greatest hits collection, this basil-pecorino sauce would be track number one, the most requested and replayed. This rich, herbaceous creamy delight has found its way into a variety of meals, including chicken and pasta. But now with paired with pork, we think we've found the perfect beat and lyrics. A medley of carrots and green beans provides the melody. (We've been waiting for years to make that joke.) We're sure you'll be singing along to our number one song as soon as you have that first perfect bite.
