Learn how to freeze pesto into small portions perfect for pasta, sauces, pizza and more! With this quick and easy method you'll never waste pesto again!
Pesto is a classic flavor combination that I use often. I love a good basil pesto, but when I want to switch things up I love this pistachio mint pesto, or sneaky kale pesto. They all make excellent pasta sauces! Today I'm showing you how to never waste any version and how easy it is to pop it in the freezer!
Basil grows in abundance during the warm months and freezing a quick batch of pesto is a great way to preserve a taste of summer! By combining olive oil, fresh basil, salt, cloves garlic, lemon juice and a few other basic ingredients into a food processor or blender you can have a flavorful sauce that is perfect for so many things!
I love throwing these pesto cubes in soups, salad dressings, using them as pizza sauce or for quick puff pasty breadsticks.
