Notes

You can of course use other types of pesto for this recipe: classic basil pesto, tomato pesto (pesto rosso), zero-waste pesto (carrot tops) or nettle pesto to stick to a wild plant recipe.
You can also replace mozzarella with other types of cheese (ricotta, burrata, or other runny cheeses...).
