8 WAYS TO USE PESTO - THE SPRUCE EATS

From thespruceeats.com
Estimated Reading Time 6 mins
  • Appetizers and Dips. Pesto is delicious incorporated into many different types of appetizer recipes. It can simply be spread onto crostini and topped with a grape tomato half or a shaving of Parmesan cheese.
  • Salad Dressing and Mix-In. Pesto, although substantial to stand on its own, can be successfully combined with other ingredients to either enhance the flavors of a dish or make a standout salad dressing.
  • Sandwich Spread. Tired of mayonnaise and mustard? Spreading a bit of pesto onto the bread before layering the fillings will bring extra flavor and a bit of excitement to any old standard sandwich.
  • Sauce and Garnish. Of course, pesto is a sauce for pasta, but it is also super as a sauce for meat, fish, chicken, and vegetables. Spread pesto onto grilled salmon or balsamic chicken, or thin it out a bit with some olive oil so you can spoon it on top.
  • Filling or Stuffing. Whether on its own or mixed with other ingredients such as cream cheese or bread crumbs, pesto makes an excellent ingredient for stuffing into sandwiches and baked breaded chicken.
  • Pizza Topping. Often considered "pizza for adults," a pizza topped with pesto instead of red sauce is a nice change from the traditional pie. It opens the door to so many different types of toppings such as grilled chicken or shrimp, or a vegetarian pizza with artichoke hearts and kalamata olives.
  • Breakfast Condiment. If you are someone who enjoys a sauce on the side with your eggs (whether it be ketchup, hot sauce, or even jelly), cooked eggs with a little bit of pesto is a whole new ballgame.
  • Pasta Dish Ingredient. Pasta is a natural partner for pesto. As you toss hot cooked pasta with the pesto, the heat brings out the fabulous flavors of the basil, garlic, and cheese.
