Five minutes to this flavor-filled Sun Dried Tomato Pesto. Tossed with cooked pasta, spread on your favorite sandwich or spread over pizza, this pesto is sure to be an instant favorite.
I am a big fan of easy meals.
I am also a big fan of homemade sauces. Not that I have anything against store bought sauce or dressing; after all, I have my fair share of favorite pre-made stuff. But sometimes I like to take things (salt) into my own hands.
A while back I made this homemade sun-dried tomato pesto and haven’t looked back since. It’s super easy to make a great big batch and use it in all your favorite recipes- pizza and sandwiches (chicken sandwich up on the blog later this week) have been just a couple of my favs.
Homemade sauces also make great gifts.
After my friend had her baby a few months ago I dropped off a big jar of this pesto, pasta noodles and a block of parmesan cheese. Little to no prep time, and a fresh, hot meal when she and her family want dinner. Of course, I could have picked up food from a restaurant, but with this, there was no pressure.
Anyway, weather you have a friend about to pop, or not, this pesto is fantastic and delicious any time of year, rain or shine!
