25 Best Recipes With Pesto

Pesto is one of the easiest and most versatile ways to add quick flavor to many dishes. I've rounded up a collection of favorite recipes by me and some of my blogging buddies who just happen to be among the best cooks in the blogosphere. You'll find recipes for making pesto the traditional way with basil, and other varieties using spinach, broccoli, and even avocados. Not only can pesto be tossed with pasta, but it also is used in appetizers, salads, sandwiches, pizza, bread, and main dishes for every meal of the day. Enjoy!
