Whether you buy it premade or prefer making it fresh at home, pesto is one of those ingredients you should always have on hand.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Exactly_is_Pesto\"><\/span>What Exactly is Pesto?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Pesto means \u201cto pound\u201d or \u201cgrind,\u201d which makes sense when you learn how this aromatic sauce is traditionally made. While there are several types of pesto, the most common is called Pesto Alla Genovese, which is the vibrant green sauce made from basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, parmesan cheese, and salt.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, it\u2019s ground-up (old-fashioned style) with a mortar and pestle, but today most people use a blender or food processer to blend it. By pulverizing these aromatic and fresh ingredients, you\u2019ll have one flavorful sauce to work with.<\/p>\n<p>Other types of pesto use tomatoes, various nuts, like almonds, and other herbs beyond basil, like thyme and rosemary. But today, we\u2019ll talk all about that bright green sauce you\u2019ll find in just about any grocery store.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pesto_is_for_More_than_Pasta_and_Sandwiches\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_PestoisForMorethanPastaandSandwiches\">Pesto is for More than Pasta and Sandwiches<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>When you have a warm crusty loaf of farmers\u2019 bread, try smearing a bit of pesto for an optimum flavor. It\u2019s fancy, fresh, and oh-so flavorful.<\/li>\n<li>Make a pesto garlic bread by slicing a large loaf of bread then coating the inside with pesto. From there, add shredded mozzarella and bake in the oven until the cheese has melted and begun to bubble into a golden-brown crust.<\/li>\n<li>Pesto is one of the best ways to spruce up a boring jar of tomato sauce you might have in the back of your food pantry. It\u2019ll also add a depth of flavor to any jarred alfredo sauce.<\/li>\n<li>Combine pesto with room temperature butter, then let it chill in the fridge. This is a great condiment for bread, grilled meats, fish, baked potatoes, roasted veggies, and so much more.<\/li>\n<li>After grilling your steak or chicken dinner to perfection, finish it off right with a drizzle of freshly made pesto. Serve with rice, potatoes, veggies, or anything else you can think of; it\u2019s that versatile.<\/li>\n<li>Potatoes love pesto. Mashed, baked, roasted, you name it; pesto will bring those tubers to life!<\/li>\n<li>You can even mix pesto into several different style dips, like spinach artichoke or any hot cheese or cream-based dips.<\/li>\n<li>If you ever want to try making a Bianca pizza at home, sans the red sauce, use pesto as your base instead. Then, add mozzarella, tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, or mushrooms, and you have yourself a heavenly harvest pizza you will love devouring.<\/li>\n<li>Grilled, roasted, or steamed veggies all love being tossed in a bit of pesto, but your tastebuds will love it even more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Perfect_Pesto_Recipes\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_7PerfectPestoRecipes\">7 Perfect Pesto Recipes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to see how versatile this aromatic green sauce can be.
