About Pesto

Pesto can be used for more than just pasta. Here are some suggestions.

Stir in cheese and use pesto in these ways:
Add to pastas such as linguine, angel hair, spaghetti, and orzo
Add to cooked rice
Add a bit more oil to mixture, toast slices of sourdough, brush on some pesto, top with more cheese, and broil
Steam quartered new potatoes, toss with pesto, sprinkle with more Parmesan and bake a few minutes in hot oven
Thin out pesto with a bit of cream, then spread between layers of potatoes and bake to make gratin
Add to summer vegetable soups

Omit cheese and add to:
Sour cream - for baked potatoes or potato salad
Butter - for baked potatoes and corn on the cob
Softened Cream Cheese - for canapes and bagels
Cooked Rice - with lots of tiny tender peas, Parmesan, and fresh black pepper
Mayonnaise - with lots of Parmesan and black pepper to spread on toasted country bread and broil as appetizer
