Mezzetta Artisan Ingredients® Basil Pesto, 6.25 oz Jar

This basil pesto is superb, like its cousin Tomato Pesto, also from Mezzetta. A symphony for your taste buds, right out of the jar! If you have this jar plus some leftover cooked pasta in the fridge (or the 60-second microwaveable Ready Pasta from Barilla), you can have dinner on the table in less than two minutes -- and you'll crave it again tomorrow, too. A lovely, fresh taste that leaves your mouth feeling clean and satisfied. Tastes great, eat right out of the jar, and feel fulfilled, too? How wonderful!!! Good for pasta salad, too, or as a spread on sandwiches. A real win.

This is excellent. I love the taste. For me, I simply put about three tablespoons on a few cups of pasta and mix it in. Add chicken if you'd like, with salt and pepper or cooked with a bit of the sauce. The only downside is that all the ingredients separate in the jar, leading the oil to be on the top and it can easily spill over the side. I fix this by putting a paper towel under the jar before I open it, and putting the spoon directly down in the jar until you hit the bottom, then stirring. It makes less or no mess.
