- Classic Basil Pesto. Want a foolproof recipe for the classic basil pesto you know and love? This no-fail recipe for the green herbaceous pasta sauce from Liguria, Italy, will quickly become a staple in your kitchen.
- Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto. Take your pesto game up a notch with our gorgeously red, flavor-packed sun-dried tomato pesto. Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes add an umami flavor bomb to the classic basil and cheese mixture, creating a complex and well-balanced sauce.
- Garlic Scape and Basil Pesto. Garlic scapes, the long and curly, tender stems that grow from the center of garlic bulbs, are an early-season gift for garlic lovers.
- Vegan Artichoke and Walnut Pesto. Delight your foodie friends at dinner parties—and stick to a vegan diet—by tossing hot pasta with this gorgeous, Roman-style pesto sauce.
- Mint Pesto. Wake up your taste buds with our refreshing mint pesto. Its bright and garlicky flavor is a wonderful addition to spring pasta salads, and the included feta cheese makes it an especially fabulous complement to Easter lamb dishes.
- Nut-Free Vegan Pesto (French Pistou) Originating from Nice in Provence, pistou is basically the French cousin of Italian pesto. Just like pesto, it's a simply delicious Mediterranean sauce made with basil, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt—but contains no nuts or cheese, so you can enjoy it on a vegan diet.
- Basil Sunflower Seed Pesto. Shake up your pesto game with this unique and tasty sunflower seed and basil pesto. Raw, unsalted sunflower seeds are a budget-conscious alternative to pricier pine nuts, and bring a lightly nutty flavor to the herbaceous sauce without adding actual nuts.
- Ramp Pesto. Ramps, sometimes referred to as wild leeks or wild garlic, are one of the true culinary delights of spring. Use a bunch of garlicky ramps from the farmer's market to make an earthy, flavorful Italian-style pesto for dressing spring vegetables, noodles, and pasta salads.
- Kale Pesto. Got kale? You may not know it, but kale (and other leafy greens) can substitute for basil to produce delightful and unusual pestos. This nut-free kale and Parmesan pesto is boosted with garlic and parsley leaves for a yummy and nutrient-dense sauce you can toss with hot cooked pasta, stir into steamed rice, or use to flavor risottos.
- Pumpkin Seed Pesto. Whether you have pumpkin seeds for roasting after carving the Halloween Jack-o-lantern or pick up the roasted, shelled seeds from the store, it's always a good time for our fabulous pumpkin seed pesto.
