Give something store-bought more zing
Store-bought pesto is one of those “go-to" sauces for an impromptu party. It originated in Italy. The name pesto comes from Latin word for “to crush.” Pesto was traditionally made in a mortar and pestle. Look for pesto in the deli cooler or in jars in the canned veggies aisle of the grocery store. Try adding minced sun-dried tomatoes to lend a premade pesto more oomph. That’s exactly what we did with a roasted red pepper pesto. Serve a semi-homemade pesto as a spread with sliced French bread, bruschetta, or even Wheat Thins. Or, add it to whole grain pasta for another dinner option.
