When Jared and I first met we worked at a cafe and they had a turkey pesto sandwich that I loved. So I was really excited to try the Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto this past month.
Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto
The Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto is flavor-packed and very versatile. It’s a pantry staple that can work for a variety of recipes.
The pesto is made with Italian basil and freshly grated Italian cheese and imported from Parma, Italy.
Barilla minimizes the handling of ingredients and rapidly prepares this pesto to preserve the natural and fresh flavors in this pesto. The pesto is prepared in as a little as 3 hours from the start of preparing the ingredients to the last step of tightening the lid on the jar.
How To Use the Barilla Pesto
There are numerous different ways you can use this creamy savory pesto. A few ways to use the pesto is by stirring it into pasta or grains, spreading it on sandwiches, or marinating meats and vegetables. The pesto can even be used as a dip.
If you decide to mix the pesto with pasta one 6.2 ounce jar of pesto mixes well with 16 ounces of pasta.
I decided to make a sheet pan veggies and chicken dish with the pesto sauce. I spread a light layer of the Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto over the chicken and veggies and baked it until done.
It was a quick and easy dinner packed with flavor. If you ask my husband and kids there was a little too much pesto flavor. So depending on how much you like the taste of pesto you may want to go lighter on how much you include in the recipes you make.
