Pesto Please
Life is like a jar of pesto...you never know which ingredients you're going to get. From basil to cilantro to spinach pestos, our menu keeps things fresh.
Pesto just may be the perfect condiment, and the flavor captures the sunny, herb-prolific months of the year better than other we can think of.
By definition, it's is an uncooked sauce made with basil, garlic, pine nuts, and Parmesan or Pecorino cheese…but we've never met a definition that couldn't stand a little stretching.
Pesto, we decided, needed a new spin—so we put our cooking caps on and came up with a few flavorful new variations. Here’s round-up of some our favorites, along with a few fresh recipes you can doll up with your favorite kind.
