There are not many things in this world that are better than a nice plate of spaghetti with homemade pesto, but did you know that the classical basil pesto is only one of many pesto types out there? Below you will find some of my favorite pesto recipes, they are not only super easy to make but also extremely versatile. You can use them for your pasta, on meat/ fish dishes, to make lasagne, to make bruschette or even as a pizza base.

Who doesn’t love a good pasta with pesto sauce? Pesto is so easy to make at home that it is an excellent quick lunch option. Since we also love roasted tomatoes we decided to combine these two dishes together and were so happy with the outcome! The orecchiette al pesto are definitely elevated with the extra tomatoes and the crunchy garlic.
