For the best flavor, use freshly made pesto if possible. The difference is significant! If you don't have Parmesan, Pecorino Romano cheese also works well. A drizzle of balsamic glaze after baking adds a touch of sweetness and acidity that complements the other flavors beautifully. Consider adding a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts before baking for added texture and nutty flavor.
