Tomato Basil Pesto Sauce
I learned this some years ago from an Italian chef. Ever since then, it has become one of my staple recipes.
It's fine to use store-bought tomato and genovese pesto, but homemade sauces are best. Adding lots of chili or cayenne peppers is delicious, but adjust the amount to taste. Recipe by Brandy

Pesto Sauce Pesto Sauce
My friend Petra showed her purple basil and I was so intrigued. I actually never saw it before. I grew some and am now harvesting my first bit. I thought this would be fun and whimsical to change from the norm. I added a small amount of shallot and different cheeses to further have fun and flavor in a traditional recipe. It still turns out mostly green.lol

Pesto Genovese & Bell Pepper Pasta Sauce Pesto Genovese & Bell Pepper Pasta Sauce
I made this upon request. Tomato sauce with baked paprika and homemade pesto genovese makes a really delicious sauce.There's no cheese in the pesto genovese, so I add it in.If you mix the paprika in the food processor for 10 seconds, some grains will remain. To get it smooth, alternate between on and off for a few seconds. It's plenty delicious without cream, but don't forget the olive oil. Recipe by Brandy -
Creamy Pesto Pasta Sauce Creamy Pesto Pasta Sauce
A great sauce for any pasta or anything else you like to use pesto for (sorry for the bad photo, it really is delicious!). The balsamic vinegar in this recipe pairs well with dishes that contain tomatoes. Goes excellent with the Sun-dried Tomato Pasta - See my recipe here: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/271714-sun-dried-tomato-pasta-doughMakes enough for 4 servings of pasta.Recipe from an "Infused Pasta" cooking class I took at the Seasoned Farmhouse in Columbus, Ohio by Chef Tom Hughes.Notes: You can use any other green herbs or leafy greens in place of basil. You can also substitute any nut in place of the pine nuts. Almonds are the closest flavor to pine nuts, but cheaper.
