    "Pesto amore."

    Pesto is a flavor combination unlike any other. Once you try it, you'll fall in amore! (love)

    What is pesto made from?

    There are many pesto flavors out there, but most are made with basil, pine nuts, garlic, cheese and oil.

    Does pesto need to be heated?

    No, pesto does not need to be heated before using.

    Do I need to refrigerate my pesto?

    Yes, it is recommended to refrigerate fresh pesto, or refrigerate after opening canned pesto.

    Should I stir pesto prior to using?

    Yes, if your pesto has been sitting awhile, it is highly recommended that you stir the pesto prior to using as ingredients may separate a little.

    Options for Using Pesto

    There are plenty of wonderful ways to use pesto! Some include:

    • Stirring into warm pasta or grains like quinoa
    • Spreading onto sandwiches, toast, or breads
    • Using pesto as a marinade for meats and vegetables
    • Using pesto as a dip for veggies or pita chips.
    • In soups--pesto adds a robust flavor to soup!
    • Using a spoonful of pesto on top of a salad as salad dressing
    • Stirring some pesto into mashed potatoes

    Ingredients

    The ingredient list for this meal is simple! All you need are:

    • Pita: We used BFree Gluten Free pita bread
    • Pesto: We went with Barilla creamy Genovese pesto.
    • Parmesan: We highly recommend some freshly grated parmesan cheese

    I've been making over recipes since I was ten. Back then I wasn't so great at it and created everything from rubber cakes for my Dad's birthday to rock muffins that put a hole in the wall.

    Diagnosed with colitis ten years ago and with three young children I had to learn to cook. But life was busy and there wasn't a lot of time to cook or figure out what I could eat!
