Thanks to Moms Meet for sponsoring this blog post for Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto. It’s so delicious.
Do you like pesto? If you’re reading this blog post, you probably do and maybe you’re even looking for the best store bought pesto on the market.
Well, while I can’t say I’ve tried them all because, honestly, pesto really wasn’t a food on my radar until this past year when my husband started eating it, I can tell you that the best pesto I’ve tried thus far and loved is the Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto.
It’s creamy, flavorful and just delicious. It’s everything you want in a pesto and it can be combined with so many foods, it’s not even funny. You can add pesto to pasta, rice, veggies, salads and sandwiches.
Pesto makes mealtime more exciting!
My favorite way to enjoy pesto is with pasta and we eat lots of pasta. π
My son, David, will ask for pesto to be mixed into his pasta. He’s probably the most adventurous eater of our five kids, and I like that he isn’t afraid to try new foods to see if he likes them. When he tried pesto for the first time, he gave it a thumbs up and it’s now a food that he can eat with pasta when he doesn’t feel like having sauce.
I also like the Barilla Creamy Genovese pesto mixed into a bowl of peas, and if you watch my YouTube hauls, you know that I love peas and eat a CRAZY amount of them. Peas are one of my favorite foods.
Yes, I’m weird like that. π€ͺ
Because Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto is so versatile and doesn’t need to be heated before using, you can even use it as a dip for veggies or pita chips but I haven’t tried that because I’m afraid if I did, I’d eat the whole jar in one sitting. LOL
But when you’re mixing pesto into a bowl of pasta, grains, veggies or having it on a sandwich, a little bit truly goes a long way. I find myself only using a teaspoon or two on my food and being happy with the flavor.
In case you’re wondering, Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto is made with fragrant Italian basil and freshly grated Italian cheese. I think if you give it a try, you’ll love it, too. I can see this pesto becoming a staple in our kitchen because it adds a little more variety to our meals.
Now that we’re eating more plant-based, I look for new ways to infuse flavor into our meatless meals and this pesto hits the spot!
