Over the years, I’ve shared a few recipes using pesto here on the blog. My friend Julie recreated one of my favorite soups to order out, this Garden Vegetable Soup with Pesto from Panera and it is absolutely delicious! I’ve also used in in cold pasta salad as well as a quick marinade for grilled chicken. My sister-in-law Jamie introduced me to this Baked Pesto Salmon recipe and I make it very often. My kids and husband love pesto pasta and I usually serve it as a simple side or as a main meal with some veggies and chicken. My favorite way to use pesto is very basic – tossed in pasta. It’s one of my favorite convenience items that you can almost always count on finding in my fridge. When I discovered this pesto (I’m usually hesitant to buy jarred sauces but the ingredient list is pretty straight forward on this one), it became a regular purchase for me when I shop at Costco. As much as I wish I could make fresh pesto all the time, reality is, buying a jar of my favorite pesto from Costco happens more often than homemade.

Add these healthy recipes with pesto to your weekly meal planning! All are easy to make and delicious, using freshly homemade or your favorite jarred pesto.Ī while back, I had a conversation with a friend about pesto – she had never really used it in her cooking and asked me “what do you do with it?”. ![]()
