Pesto has many uses. Get creative with how you eat yours! It is a delicious additive to sandwiches, pizzas and soups as many people know. It is also a wonderful marinade, and lovely on fish as well. Pesto pairs nicely with hummus to make a fabulous dip for crackers and veggies–a party favorite. However, the most popular way to have pesto is with pasta!
