Everyday Pesto Cookbook

By Kelsey Goodman

What is pesto?

Pesto is a simple sauce that can transform dishes of all sorts with its bright herbal flavors. The word pesto comes from the Italian word "pestare" which means to pound or crush. We've all had traditional basil pesto but a basic pesto recipe can be transformed with all different varieties of herbs, nuts, and olive oils. Read on and we'll show you how to make pesto both traditionally, like this classic basil pesto recipe, and pesto with a twist.

How to Use Pesto?

A. Toss with pasta, especially any pasta with texture, this will help the pasta grab the slippery sauce.

C. Add to eggs before scrambling them.

D. Use as a condiment on sandwiches and wraps, stir some into mayo or by itself.

H. Add to buttermilk to make a salad dressing.
