Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Make a double batch of pesto. Plan to toss it with cooked vegetables or spread it on crusty bread or ready-made pizza crust.
  • tip 2
    For a quick-as-could-be dinner, toss mostaccioli with purchased sun-dried tomato pesto and top with feta cheese. Sun-dried tomato pesto can be found in jars in the condiment section of many supermarkets.
