- Vary the green. Basil is classic, but other tender herb leaves, like parsley, cilantro and mint (or a combination of all of these) also work well. Or skip the herbs and try kale, arugula or broccoli rabe—a great sneaky way to eat your greens.
- Switch up the nuts. Pine nuts are the go-to but they can be spendy. Instead, try almonds or walnuts, which make a heartier pesto. Or, for a less obvious choice, add pistachios or Brazil nuts, which both have a natural buttery flavor that’s delicious in the sauce.
- Add vegetables. For an especially chunky pesto, add your farmers’ market finds, from asparagus to red peppers to tomatoes.
- Mix and match. After you get comfortable with varying the formula, you can come up with creative combos, like oregano-pistachio or olive-hazelnut. Or move pesto away from its Italian roots and make a Mexican version with poblano peppers and queso fresco, or an Asian version with lemongrass, ginger and yuzu kosho.
- Choose your mixing method. Sure, the fastest way to pulverize your pesto is in a food processor, but pounding it together in a mortar and pestle yields a pesto with an incomparable texture, and helps you work out your aggression, to boot.

- Get soupy. In Italy, a pot of minestrone is never complete without adding a swizzle of homemade pesto into the finished soup. Adding a few dollops of green pesto to a pot of soup adds a velvety smoothness, as well as a finishing flavor that pops and lingers on the palate.
- Make pasta, duh. How is it that the most obvious answers are also the most overlooked? Make perfect pasta by adding plentiful pesto to warm pasta of your choosing.
- Make a schmear. Yes, the deli schmear. NYC residents and lovers of the bagel know what I’m referring to; the thick, cream cheese spread that goes over a bagel or other sandwich.
- Make a mega-dip. Take ordinary old hummus or black bean dip and make it extraordinary with a spoonful of pesto swirled into the mix. Add your fave dipping foods and you win.
- Get drizzling. Pesto can be thinned out with extra-virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice to make a drizzling sauce perfect for salad dressings, grilled fish and garlic bread.
- Perk up your casseroles and mashes. The 1950's casseroles and bakes become something modern and chic when perked up with pesto. Mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, ham casserole or potatoes au gratin—just a few examples of traditional American dishes that become inter-continental with the addition of a few dollops of pesto in the creamy base.
- Perfect the pizza. Next time you bake a pizza from scratch, skip the marinara sauce and instead use pesto as the base. Whether your toppings are barbecued chicken, prosciutto and basil, or just plain cheese, you’re going to fall in love with the perfect pizza.
- Make a marinade. Thin out a few dollops of pesto with lots of olive oil, lime juice or wine, and soy sauce. Use as a marinade for meats, fish and tofu—now get grilling!
- Cut the dairy. Replace butter with pesto in all sorts of applications; on garlic bread, over warm noodles, when sautéing eggs and veggies and as a dipping oil for seafood and breadsticks.
- Make a better burger. Whether you’re making veggie burgers or the real deal, add a few dollops of pesto to the batter for insane flavor.
11 WAYS TO USE STORE-BOUGHT PESTO | REAL SIMPLE
From realsimple.com
- Pesto Tuna Sandwiches. Use canned tuna packed in water, some store-bought pesto, and any sandwich bread of your choice to throw together a cafe-quality sandwich in about five minutes.
- Chicken-Pesto Flatbread Sandwiches. Give pesto a chance and it will shine on just about any sandwich. Here, the condiment coats some leftover rotisserie chicken, which is then tucked inside a flatbread made of frozen pizza dough along with mozzarella and baby arugula.
- Deep-Dish Pizza With Turkey Sausage and Brussels Sprouts. As pesto fans may know, the savory green condiment works well on just about any pizza, but it really steals the spotlight with this deep-dish take.
- Chickpea, Vegetable, and Pesto Soup. This meat-free soup swaps out noodles for, well, plenty of veggies—including carrots, celery, and chickpeas.
- Potato, Pea, and Pesto Fish Packets. Cooking fish in parchment paper helps steam the fish, which yields especially juicy and tender results.
- Chicken With Pesto Potatoes. Pesto pulls double-duty here, as it is used (along with mayonnaise) to marinade chicken and add some flavor to boiled potatoes.
- Quinoa With Sweet Potatoes, Kale, and Pesto. If you're struggling to use up a bunch of leftovers before they're too far gone, make a grain bowl with a starch, some veggies, and whatever else you have lying around.
- Three-Bean Chili With Spring Pesto. This spring pesto is made with fresh garlic, pine nuts, parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper, but a store-bought version works well too.
- Chia Pilaf With Pesto. Rice is a solid side for just about anything, and this pilaf is in a league of its own. While it's still easy to make, it's elevated thanks to protein-rich chia seeds, chicken broth, and prepared pesto.
- Chicken Cutlets With Chickpea and Pesto Salad. There are pretty much endless ways you can make (and enjoy) chicken cutlets. Here, the breaded dinnertime staple is paired with a healthy chickpea and radish salad that's been tossed in store-bought pesto and fresh lemon juice.
