  • To Freeze: Spoon pesto in ice cube trays, cover and place in freezer. Once frozen pop out the cubes and place in freezer bags. Frozen pesto is good for 3-4 months.
  • To use for dinner: Make your favorite pasta, drain and once it's still hot, add 1-2 frozen pesto cubes on top. Stir until pesto coats the noodles. I like to use 1 cube for 8 oz of pasta (a little goes a long way!).
