Roasted Red Pepper Pesto. YESS. You Heard me. Gimme ALLLL the Pesto.
Making my own Pesto has become one of the greatest things ever, and i’m fairly certain I will never buy store bought pesto again. Not that you can’t get absolutely delicious store bought pesto (I promise I wont judge you if you will never NOT buy store bought pesto), but the homemade stuff is not only 100 times more fresh- it’s also soo easy! It seriously takes less than 10 minutes and can be used in so many different things.

I love making a batch on Sunday or Monday, and storing in the fridge for the week. That way, you can whip it out for a quick weeknight pasta dish, put it on toast with eggs in the morning, or even top grilled meats and veggies. It jazzes up the meal in an instant, and like I said, the possibilities are endless. You can put it in pastas, toast, pizzas, grilled meats, fish, veggies, eggs, cheese, etc. etc. etc.

If you’ve never made your own pesto, I totally get it. It sounds a little intimidating, but just trust me on this one and give it a whirl. You will thank me later!
