Pesto Week

I love pesto. I've made it countless times and absolutely love the flavour. It's such a wonderful ingredient to add to so many dishes to help amp up their flavour. This beautiful green sauce is also quite versatile in that you can add it in various stages of the cooking process for different results. It's delicious and that's why this week's recipes will all center around Pesto.

• My pesto forward appetizer is going to be a play on Arancini. Creamy, rich pesto infused arborio rice balls stuffed with a delicious riciotta filling, breaded, and baked to crispy perfection. Pair these with a luscious tomato sauce and magic happens. My Pesto Arancini recipe is so easy and it's a dish everyone will love!

• My Pesto Hasselback Potatoes will be the side dish for the week. I've basted the potatoes throughout the cooking process with the pesto mix to really infuse that nutty, herbacious flavour in to the potatoes. They bake up so beautifully almost like a work of art but an edible one.
  

• Finishing off my pesto themed week will be my Creamy Pesto Gnocci. Tender and delicious gnocci tossed in a creamy pesto sauce, what's better than that? This whole recipe is ready in under 25 minutes from prep to plate. It's simple and tastes divine!

I look forward to sharing my Pesto Week recipes with y'all!

HAPPY VEG
