Trapanese PestoPin

Obsessed! That’s how I feel about this pesto.

While thinking of something new to do with the pounds of fresh basil growing in our garden I came up with the idea of adding fresh tomatoes to a classic pesto, making it even thicker and more hearty. I dug what I made so much I ended up making a massive extra batch to freeze in individual containers so I’ll have it for weeks — if not months — to come.

This pesto is ideal to serve on pasta, mix into rice or quinoa for a solid vegetarian meal, or even spread on fish or chicken before baking for a simple recipe. It’s that versatile and a mealtime life saver whenever you need one. Is it me or isn’t that most of the time?
