Favorite thing to do with pesto?

[Curlysue]

I have a ton of pesto that I need to use. What are some recipes that you use pesto in for dinner?

Pesto garlic bread!

Use about 1/4 cup with any kind of pasta (I usually use penne, but anything works, even orzo), and add some chopped artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes and kalamata olives. Top with a little feta or goat cheese.

Use as a spread on paninis.

Use as a pizza sauce in place of marinara.

Take a baguette, spread with pesto, top with thinly sliced apple, shredded monterey jack cheese, and some freshly ground black pepper, and broil until the cheese melts. Yummmmm.

Grilled cheese or tortellini salad.

Hi, lurker here...Pesto stuffed shells (this also applies to the greek yogurt post too): shineisntalwaysshimmer.blogspot.com/2011/11/chicken-pesto-stuffed-shells.html

Or mix with quinoa, service with chicken and steamed spinach (or put all into a wrap)

While I've never tried it, I've seen a lot of pesto chicken recipes.

Pesto also freezes extremely well. It should last for a couple more months and it only takes a couple of hours to thaw out.

I mix it with a little mayo and use that instead of butter on the bread for grilled cheese sandwiches...yum!
