Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Recipes

a quick and easy recipe. Omit the margarine on the noodles to save on fat and calories

Use on your favorite baguettes, pizza, pastas or stir in some low fat sour cream or cream cheese to make a quick spread.

We make our own pesto from summertime Basil grown in our home garden, with just a hint of olive oil, mostly basil, water, garlic, pine nuts and salt for a low fat version. We then use plastic wrap to roll-up the pesto in log shape, bag them and freeze for future use. Our "sundried" tomatoes are made from our own tomatoes too - dried in a dehydrator machine, and stored for the winter in freezer bags.

Full of flavor, healthy, lunch or appetizer

A fast and easy condiment for sandwiches, pasta, chicken, shrimp, whatever. Keeps very well in the refrigerator. These proportions make a thick spread. Add more or less olive oil for your desired consistency. You can add plain non-fat Greek yogurt (or plain non-fat regular yogurt strained using cheesecloth to make it thicker) to make a dip or faux cream sauce for pasta.

This is so good and so quick and easy, BUT everyone will think you worked so hard on it.

Quick and easy meal...very filling for one serving.

This recipe uses dry sun-dried tomatoes, as opposed to tomatoes packed in oil.

This is wonderful spread on crusty fresh bread, or used on a sandwich, with meat or cheese.
