5 ways to use pesto

Pesto is a versatile sauce traditionally made from basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil, though definitions vary—some chefs use the term more broadly to describe any herb- or vegetable-based puree used as a condiment. Beyond its classic role in pasta, pesto can be a sustainability hero in the kitchen: it’s perfect for transforming leftover greens, herbs, or roasted vegetables into vibrant sauces for grain bowls, sandwiches, dressings, or marinades. Check out these 5 ways to use pesto.
