A little goes a long way!
The greatest thing about pesto sauce is that it is so versatile! Add a spoonful to your favorite sandwich or pasta, use it as a dipping sauce to create healthy side dishes, or spread it over barbecued meats… the possibilities are endless.
We love this Artichoke & Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto recipe because it adds just the right amount of zesty flavor to our meals. Perfect for artichoke dishes, the flavorful combination of artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, and Italian cheeses takes ordinary recipes and makes them extraordinary!
Pesto is often overlooked when cooking pasta at home. A lot of people turn to their favorite staple – marinara sauce – only occasionally jazzing that up with ground turkey or roasted veggies. The other go-to alternative – alfredo – is often loaded with saturated fat and calories. Pesto sauce is a great alternative because it features fresh veggies, spices, and olive oil. The sauce contains a fair amount of fat, but it’s unsaturated fat. Also realize just a small amount of pesto sauce is needed to flavor your favorite dish. The taste is strong and aromatic, so a little goes a long way. If you love fresh, Italian-style flavors, give our sun dried tomato pesto dish a try!
