Uses for pesto? I made some and have found out no one here is

Mix it with mayo/sour cream/cream cheese, then stir into pasta. Delish!

In other words, if the pesto flavor is too strong for you straight up over pasta, add a creamy fat of some sort to help tame the flavor. (Cream + pesto, reduced over heat would work well too.)

Resto I used to work at used it as a spread on sandwiches. This was my favorite:

Turkey, Pesto, Pepper Jack, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion

Add a little cream making it a creamy pesto pasta, softens the 'bite' of pesto which some

don't care for. Creamy pesto pasta is delicious.

Makes a great salad dressing too thined down with a little vinegar, Esp, on cold roasted veggies!

4) I decorate the main cours plate with dot's of pesto when i have guests over for dinner.
5) I use pesto as a sauce for baked white fish.
