Pesto Sauce

If you are making your own noodles then try this. Make your noodles as usual; add some tomato past to it. It gives you tomato pasta. Add the Pesto sauce to it and you have something unexpected and yummy. Mark as beneficial if this is helpful to you.

I love pesto and yes I have made it myself. I use it with many different pasta and seafood dishes. I saute onion in olive oil, add a can of diced tomatoes, pesto, sliced black olives, fresh parsley, and small scallops. Cook until scallops are done and mix with a twist type of pasta.
It is good with olive oil, anchovies (if you like fish), and angel hair pasta. Spread on slices of Italian bread, top with a tomato slice, season tomato with black pepper, add grated mozzarella on top and toast in the oven until cheese is melted. Make some penne pasta salad and dress with the pesto and wine vinegar instead of Italian dressing!

Hope this helps you out. Have a good night.

I have always made my own pesto. I buy the ingredients because I don't have a garden (I tried, but the weeds defeated me.). I usually make enough to freeze for a dozen or so meals - you can fit one serving of pesto in one hollow of an icecube tray. I serve it with chicken because I serve most things with chicken. LOL

I make a small garden salad and pick up a loaf of fresh bread from a bakery. You could leave the bread plain or make garlic bread from it.

When I make pesto, I change out the herbs and do it with cilantro and sometimes I use walnuts instead of pine nuts. We like the pesto over angel hair pasta and we toss in some halved cherry tomatoes and sometimes black olives. I use leftover pesto as a spread on sandwiches or crackers.

I have never made pesto. But I have had it. It is good for the ocassional treat. Most people eat it on pasta. But it is also good in place of tomato sauce on pizza.
