In the summer, pesto sauce is a staple for me. First of all, it needs no cooking, which I love when it is hot out and want dinner on the table fast. Second, basil and other greens and herbs are usually at their peak at this time of year. So that gorgeous sauce is able to come out particularly fresh and flavorful. It is so versatile, it doesn’t just need to be served over pasta! I’ve rounded up all of my recipes using pesto sauce so you can also get in on the delicious fun.

Mint Pistachio Pesto Chicken Pasta

Turkey Meatballs with Zucchini Pesto Pasta
Pesto Chicken Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

Sausage, Mushroom and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta

I hope this inspires you to use up that basil, those greens and herbs, and all of the other wonderful parts of this season for some pesto sauce deliciousness! It really is such an easy and incredible way to bring flavor to a meal. Enjoy!! xoxo
