Sun-Dried Tomato Basil Pesto

Simple to make and full of flavor, this sun-dried tomato pesto is one of my favorite sauces to add to chicken or pasta. I won’t ever go back to store-bought varieties.

Step: 1

Combine basil, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic, and salt in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until blended. Pour olive oil in slowly, with the processor running, until a paste forms. Blend to desired texture.

One of most obvious way to pick a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick something different. If you’re cooking pasta, go for a simple healthy dish . Made steak? Go for more light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can make to cooking process . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the stovetop . But often you can make a dish do more often .
