Recipes that contain pesto

I like adding pesto to green curry.

I like making wide fresh pasta and add fresh graded parm.

We do something like the recipe below quite often.

When the tomatoes are out of season, we generally use roma or sliced cherry tomatoes. We cover the chicken in the tomatoes rather than just one slice. We cut the mozz pretty thick. We prefer the cheese on top of the tomatoes, but either way works.

We do not add garlic because generally, the pesto has plenty. We salt and pepper the chicken with black pepper.

The juices are quite good.

You can use breasts or thighs.

You can also make a good tomato basil soup and add pesto to it during cooking or on top of each serving or both.

Marinate chicken in it over night then grill. I do that fairly often in the summer.

Schmear it onto decent bread & toast it
Use it as a sandwich spread in lieu of mayo
Boil baby new potatoes & toss w/pesto
Use as a dressing for a white bean salad (add red onion, parsley, finely chopped celery, green onions, etc)

You can also fold in bread crumbs, coat chicken thighs, thin pork chops, etc... and then grill it. You get this nice crusty thing going on.

Spread it over some salmon and bake
Pesto lasagna
Pizzas
Pastas

stuff doesnt last long in our house

This thread caused me to eat fresh pasta from Bellegarde bakery tossed with pesto for dinner. It was tasty.

Butterfly a pork tenderloin.

Stuff the seasoned pork tenderloin with pesto and feta cheese.

Roast in oven or on a wood fired grill.

Enjoy..
