How should I prepare it?

Cook the spaghetti, add the sauce, done!
Dear guest
Thank you for your interest.
You don't have to cook the pesto. You can mix it in directly after draining the pasta.
We wish you lots of enjoyment and a great week. Your M-Infoline team

Cashew nuts and potatoes don't belong in any pesto. Almost the same ingredients are also contained in Coop's Pesto Verde. Although the Coop version also contains unnecessary sunflower oil. Bertolli's Peston Verde also contains similar ingredients. The only difference is that it says potato flakes instead of potatoes. I recommend everyone to read this interesting article about pesto: http://www.tomhillenbrand.de/2011/01/27/das-pesto-prinzip-oder-warum-ich-an-der-lebensmittelindustrie-verzweifle/
If you want real pesto without potato flakes, unnecessary oils or cashew nuts instead of pine nuts, it's better to buy the fresh ingredients in Migros and make the sauce yourself :)
Dear guest
Thank you very much for your contribution.
It is correct that Agnesi's pesto genovese contains cashew nuts and potatoes as well as pine nuts.
There are now countless modern variations of the original recipe, this is one of them.
We offer the original recipe under Sélection. Have you tried it yet?
Best wishes and have a nice weekend, your M-Infoline team

I haven't tried the Sélection version yet. I only found out about it today, thank you. I will definitely try it soon. At first glance, the list of ingredients looks better than the other pestos.
I'm skeptical about the modifications to the original recipe, or even pretty sure. That it's all about lower production costs and not about recipes. Otherwise the manufacturers would not constantly advertise pine nuts but cashew nuts. Or not with olive oil but with sunflower oil, which they don't do ;-) It's all about costs and profits, because the majority of consumers generally don't look too closely. They usually just read pine nuts on the label. You wouldn't need potato flakes to make the pesto look fuller either. I am not aware of any other pesto recipe, apart from Bertolli's, that contains potato flakes. It would be like selling a traditional Swiss fondue whose cheese mixture is mixed with Red Bull instead of wine. So that the cheese doesn't look dry ;-)
However, I am convinced that a real pesto can also be produced at reasonable retail prices. Because my homemade pesto with ingredients from Migros costs about as much as the ready-made pesto. With wholesale prices, it shouldn't be particularly difficult, and a profit would still be possible. But if the costs were actually higher, it wouldn't matter. The consumer will certainly pay a little more for a really good pesto. It would just have to be declared correctly, for example: pesto A with cashew nuts and pesto B with 100% pine nuts ;-)
