Goat Cheese Spread (Dip) with Spinach-Basil Pesto
I’ve tried this recipe quite a few times and find this to be one of the simplest and easiest appetizers to put together both as a dip and a spread with some water crackers. From the original site: I customized this recipe for pesto by playing with the key ingredients. I use fresh basil and spinach leaves in a 1:1 ratio and this sort of avoids the intensity that you would get by just adding basil or replacing it ent…
Cilantro Pesto
Cilantro Pesto is for all of us in the Cilantro Lovers Club! I am dolloping this on everything that won’t move. From the original site: Once you make this herby deliciousness, what should you do with it? Here are some ideas: boil or roast some new potatoes and then toss some of this pesto with them spoon a bit on top of some creamy polenta slather a bit on a toasted piece of Bruschetta stir some into cooked r…

Penne Pasta with Cream, Pesto and Tomatoes
(originally published June 2010) I’ve been experimenting with selling herbs at the local farmers market recently and the one that seems to sell the best is basil. I always seem to sell out early. So this last market, I took double what I normally take and guess what….. I didn’t sell it all. I did sell more than last time, but still had quite a bit left over, so started looking for recipes…
Spotlight! Ramp Pesto
Foodwhirl thinks Manhattan Food Project totally rocks (I think they are as big Alton fans as I am!), and would love to crash at their pad next time we are in NYC… and this recipe is no exception to our drooliness (I’m pretty sure that’s not a word). Anyway, Ramp Pesto? How cool! We love pesto (see here and here) Apparently ramps are really hot right now. So if you’re thinking of t…
Happy Saint Patty’s day: just add pesto.
Sure you have to wear green so you won’t be pinched. I used to throw in a bright green hair ribbon when I was little, and I think we pinned on clovers more than once. Why not give green to your food too? Or greenify your kids’ lunches or get in the spirit during dinner? Remember the token box of mix that was so simple: ‘just add water’? It is easy to add a festive touch for this holiday: just…

Spicy Cilantro Pesto
I’m a huge fan of pesto, so it seemed like the perfect thing to do with my last bit of cilantro. I had a little less than a bunch left after several rounds of ceviche, the shrimp & fish tacos, and various other uses… so what better to do with it! This version is has a bit of a kick from the red pepper… I’ve already used it on fancied up quesadillas, and I think it’s going to be…
