Put spoonfuls on pizza.
Spread it on toast.
Mix with sour cream and mayonnaise for a dip for raw vegetables or
potato chips.
Put it in double baked potatoes topped with cheese.
Add it to gazpacho or minestrone.
It goes in Italian dressing for salads.

Some soups, particularly seafood soups, benefit from a dab of pesto.

Oh, I had grilled chicken thighs just last week that were marinated
in pesto with lemon and lime juice added. Oh, were they good! and
moist and tender, too.

My favorite way is to make a spinach - walnut - feta pesto (heretic !) then
stuff some chicken breasts with feta and capacola and bake the chicken in
the pesto with some more cap and pesto layered on top. Bake covered at
first, then uncovered to make a crust.

Serve with a side of herbed pasta and a few lemon wedges.

I'm sure it would work with basil pestos as well.

Tuck some pesto under the skin of a chicken breast and bake.

Pesto and bean soup is heavenly. Pesto garlic bread is something I like to
make. I also like to toss pesto with fettuccine and a touch of cream -
sometimes I add raw bay scallops to the hot pasta and let them get just a
tad cooked.

Tom,
You will find some great ideas from the people in this NG. However,
I like simple recipes, so I just buy a jar of Classico Basil Pesto and
add it to Penne pasta. I then top it will parmeasean cheese. I have
fresh baked crusty bread and real butter and that is it. Too good! I
just love it and now I always make it for my Sunday dinner.

And believe me, I look forward to it!

Good luck,
Mark Ferrante

Mix w/ mayo for a good sandwich spread. I love it w/ a turkey and cheese
sandwich, on either a soft or crusty roll, or on everyday whole wheat bread.

Toss w/ angel hair pasta. If you keep some pesto in the freezer (freeze in
ice cube trays, then pop out and store in freezer zipper bags), you can thaw
it in the microwave and have a wonderful meal ready in almost no time.

Put it on pizza, in vegetable soup,...

One of my favorites...get a loaf of crusty sourdough or Italian bread, some
summer-ripe tomatoes, some fresh mozzarella. Slap it all together, slather
generously w/ pesto. Incredible hot weather meal.
