I can eat pesto with almost any food and have been known to spread it on bagels. More conventional uses include putting it on grilled or baked vegetables, especially tomatoes, meat, fish, poultry, or bread. Pesto can even make canned minestrone seem special. Pasta, of course, is the ultimate mate for pesto. Cr me fraiche and softened butter are nice too.
Spinach is a bit too mild, so go easy on the garlic.
Arugula is the reverse. They re all fun to make. Just don t call them pesto. All rights reserved. Click here for information on privacy, copyright and reproduction rules.
