Homemade Best-O Pesto Ever

In all seriousness, this homemade pesto recipe has changed my level of 'chefworthiness' in the eyes of friends and family. My husband swears I could make millions off of just this recipe! Of course I am still just a wannabe cook…but this simple pesto recipe could fool the best of them! The simplicity and the quality of the ingredients is what makes it so fantastic.

Lighter Basil Pesto

Basil pesto is one of my favorite foods, especially in the summer. Unfortunately pesto is very high in fat and calories, so I have been working to create a lower fat and low calorie pesto version. This pesto is creamy and delicious without the guilt! This recipe is also great with any type of stock or nuts that you have at home.

Creamy Pesto Sauce

Lovingly known as just 'green spaghetti' in our family, this pesto is unique because of the addition of cream cheese which gives it a great creamy texture (plus no pine nuts!).

Pesto alla Siciliana

This is the recipe for the authentic pesto from Sicily. It combines a traditional pesto with Sicilian delights: ricotta cheese and tomatoes. It has a light and refreshing flavor. Enjoy it with tubular pasta so the pesto finds its way inside the tubes for a burst of Sicilian flavor with every bite! Seeding the tomatoes first allows the mixture to be thicker so it sticks better to the pasta.

The Best Classic Pesto

Peppery, tangy, creamy, and fresh-tasting — this pesto has it all. It's a great way to use up the bounty of your summer herb garden, and each batch will last in the fridge for up to 2 weeks! Use it to dress up pasta, potatoes, eggs, sauces, marinades, or soups. Spread it on bread and top with grilled chicken and tomatoes for a delightful open-faced sandwich. Or, stir a spoonful into mayonnaise for a homemade pesto aioli.

Three Pepper Pesto

This recipe uses red bell peppers, black pepper, dried chile pepper and lots of Parmesan cheese, but less basil than most pesto recipes. The predominant flavor is sweet red pepper. It's excellent toasted with bread under the broiler or tossed with pasta. The pesto keeps up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

15-Year-Old Pesto Sauce

I first tried pesto in a restaurant about 15 years ago and asked the chef what was in it. I love keeping my own jar of this on hand as it yields enough for a pound of pasta and is wonderful drizzled over tomatoes, boiled potatoes, or Italian bread.

Spinach Basil Pesto

This spinach pesto sauce is perfect for freezing in an ice cube tray. I just pop out a couple of cubes from the freezer and add them to a pasta dish for a quick and easy meal. The Parmesan cheese can be omitted and added after thawing.

Basil Cream Sauce

I came up with this creamy basil sauce recipe when I couldn't find one online. I put it on everything! It can be reheated in the microwave without separating. I love the light green color — it displays beautifully over tri-color or regular pasta, salmon, and grilled chicken.
