I've had pesto dishes many times at restaurants and used it at home as well. I've never seen or tried truffle pesto before so when I saw it at Home Goods I bought a small bottle. It was sitting in my pantry untouched but I finally chose to use it last night. We made gnocchi for dinner (not from scratch) and I put the truffle pesto on it, along with some shredded Italian cheese blend I bought at Lidl. The dish turned out really good. There were leftovers so I am gonna enjoy some right now for my late lunch.

White truffles are extremely expensive, they grow only in a specific area in north of Italy. We slice them very thin and usually put on fettuccine. May be they used the broken parts to make a pesto, mixing with olive oil.

@TiarasOceanView I can get regular pesto for much cheaper. But I think for the truffle one it is a good price.

Truffles are expensive. I remember not that long ago we went to an Italian restaurant in Eately for dinner and we got summer truffles to go along with one of the dishes. Cost us $30 for a small quantity. Don't remember exact weight. The truffle pesto cost me $4.99 plus tax. Not that bad I think price-wise.
