Costco's pesto sauce is amazing.
I'm can't have much pasta so I've been figuring out other ways to use it. So far I've come up with a baked chicken in pesto and mozzarella (took me three tries to spell that) and chicken noodle soup with pesto in it (equally yummy). Anyone have any good recipes calling for pesto that aren't pasta based?
As I read your post, I wanted to recommend pesto in soup. Then I see you've done that already. Panera Bread serves a really good vegetable soup with pesto....
