Can't believe I forgot that! One of our favorite combos is pesto sauce, cheese, brocoli, spinach and a bit of feta cheese on top. Put the brocoli and spinach under the cheese so they don't burn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uses-for-pesto#post-908810 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 19:45:33 +0000 jmarionsmith 908810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>smear it on chicken then top with a slice of tomato and mozzarella cheese. bake it at 350. so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uses-for-pesto#post-908801 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 19:40:11 +0000 betsyboop 908801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great ideas so far, thank you! I'm definitely going to try your suggestions. </p> <p>@PEAPIE: Such a great idea to freeze the pesto into cubes, I'm doing this tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uses-for-pesto#post-908777 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 19:30:29 +0000 PEAPIE 908777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I get a BIG jar of pesto, I'll make pesto ice cubes to thaw and use later. (I love the stuff, but I can't eat it THAT much.)Then you can pop a couple in a pan of fresh pasta with some parmesan! I also love baked chicken with pesto or tomato/pesto grilled cheese! delish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uses-for-pesto#post-908761 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 19:23:23 +0000 delight 908761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make a delicious pesto and turkey wrap: </p> <p>I mix a spoonful of pesto, mayonnaise and feta cheese in small bowl and nuke in microwave until feta is melted. I stir fry up some red and yellow peppers and onions in large fry pan.<br /> Then I spread the pesto mix on a big tortilla wrap, put the peppers and onions in the middle and put sliced turkey breast on top. I wrap it up and put it in the pan that I had stir fried the peppers. I cook until meat is nice and hot and tortilla is starting to get toasty. BEST sandwich/wrap ever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uses-for-pesto#post-908751 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 19:17:47 +0000 tlcbaby 908751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to mix it with roasted potatoes! It's also good as a salad dressing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uses-for-pesto#post-908750 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 19:17:43 +0000 allison 908750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We often use it as pizza sauce. Top with mozzarella, tomatoes, and parm! So good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uses-for-pesto#post-908747 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 19:16:26 +0000 yoursilverlining 908747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In addition to pastas and on sandwiches, it's great brushed on grilled veggies. It's also good mixed half and half with red sauce on pasta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/uses-for-pesto#post-908743 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 19:14:46 +0000 betsyboop 908743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fell into the Costco trap and bought a large jar of pesto today (surprisingly good, by the way!). Aside from pasta, how else do you incorporate pesto into your cooking? I smeared it on my turkey &amp; cheese sandwich today and it was so good! But I'd love to hear some of your ideas! </p>
