Uses for Non-Traditional Pestos
Advertisement
Q. I read an article on non-traditional pestos — mint pesto, arugula pesto, creamy pesto with ricotta, pistachio pesto, etc. Can you recommend some uses for these pestos?A. As with the traditional basil-based pesto, all would probably work very well as pasta sauces. Other traditional pesto applications are equally good — as a dip for vegetables or breadsticks, a garnish, a condiment, a spread for bread or on a savory sandwich instead of mayonnaise, or swirled into a light sauce to boost the flavor.
