Tomato Basil Pesto
I recently flew to New Jersey to spend some time with my sisters for the holiday. As always when I fly I never quite know what to bring along for sandwiches. The criteria is usually nothing too smelly. Then I thought of making this Tomato Basil Pesto and spreading it on thick crusty bread. It it so full of flavor that all you need is a slice of fresh mozzarella and you are good to go. The sandwiches were a big hit. I took the leftover sandwiches and put them in a panini press. It is equally delicious hot or cold.
