Question about pestos

[Guest guest]

Yes, that's what I mean Kim. Almost all pesto recipes have pasta noodles. I

saw some great recipes today for a porcini mushroom and baby spinach pesto,

sundried tomato and olive oil pesto, and another which was parsley and spinach

based, but I don't just want to use them on noodles all the time. I suppose I

could use them on something like the Mo Tuna fillets, but that's kind of

expensive.

 

Thanks for your thoughts though.

BL, baked tofu with pesto sounds good to me and would be less expensive. .

..actually, I love pesto and can eat it on about anything! LOL!\

Because there are so many varieties of pesto, I can see that it would have it's

place, but I am hesitant to eat so much oil (albeit olive) at a time. Does it

taste of the oil?

 

I am afraid I can't do soy products LaDonna. I little hidden in a food

sometimes, but it gives me a hyper mind (which, of course might not be a bad

thing - lol).

It would depend upon your recipe or if you purchase a commercial pesto.

There are recipes on the Christian Vegan Cooking list for pesto that contain

no " free fats " , depending upon nuts for the fat in the recipe, and they

won't taste oily. I forgot that you don't use soy, BL, but pesto with

potatoes is good!

I use pesto with roasted eggplant. Yumm!! I have also used it to

jazz up hummus for dips or sandwiches. Also, in a rice dish it is

very nice. Or in polenta (either in the recipe or as a topping for it)
