Whenever we think of pesto, the first thing that comes to our mind is the traditional basil pesto. But we can make pesto with other ingredients too and this sun-dried tomato pesto is one such versatile and flavorsome pesto that I made few days back. I reserved some of the pesto to make pasta and used the rest to spread over baguette and sandwiches.
Pasta is such a flexible dish that you can make vary it each time with different sauces and veggies. I tossed in some spinach also into the pasta to make little more healthier and colorful. It tastes even better the next day!
