Simple Garlic and Basil Pesto

Submitted by: FUZZYGREENMONKEY
This recipe is something that you can make quickly and easily using a blender. Everything you need is easy to find in your local supermarket. This paste is great for putting on or in meat and pastas, or with cottage cheese in stuffed pasta shells. Once I start making this, the orders from friends and family keep coming in. For best taste, pesto should be heated up in the meal it's being prepared with. 

Pesto with Arugula

Submitted by: Mark Caron
This pesto is unique due to the arugula, which gives it a peppery bite. I also like the lack of cheese, but add it if you must. Use as a spread or on pasta. My favorite is on baguette slices or on whole wheat crackers. It's addictive! 

Yummy Vegan Pesto Classico

Submitted by: CANDIEDVIOLET
This is a classic recipe I use and love. Nutritional yeast is substituted for the traditionally used dairy. Tasty on pasta, bread, sandwiches, omelets, etc. Try adding sun-dried tomato slices post-completion for an added boost of rich flavor. P.S. - It also freezes beautifully.

Red bell peppers, black pepper, and red pepper flakes are blended with basil and Parmesan cheese in this bright and flavorful pesto. Serve this chilled or at room temperature with toasted bread and fresh vegetables as an easy, make-ahead appetizer.

Pesto Del Sol

Submitted by: Wendy
After they baste in the sun all summer long, I cut down my basil plants and make this delightful pesto. This basil pesto has been mellowed with fresh spinach and enhanced by the taste of black olives. I make big batches and freeze in small container for the whole year. It will keep in the fridge for a week. Toss with pasta. Spread on meat or sandwiches. Add a spoonful for favoring to lots of recipes. Enjoy!
