Easy Sundried Tomato Pesto is incredibly easy to make and full of flavour. Great on pastas, pizzas, in soups on sandwiches and in so many more ways.

I decided to throw in an extra post this week for these easy Sundried Tomato Pesto. Something with so much flavour but takes just minutes is too good not to post.

I originally made this recipe for a Roasted Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese recipe that I created for the Sunday Supper movement. The soup is amazing, comforting and hearty with all the natural robust flavour of tomato. But what gives it a real punch of flavour is this Easy Sundried Tomato Pesto.

It really is easy

It’s a simple matter of adding ingredients to a blender and blending them really. I toast the pine nuts first but other than that, it’s just into the blender with everything and voila! I made mine quite thick as it was going to be added to a soup and I wanted it to thicken the soup a little but you can thin this out by adding a little extra oil.

So here we go, just 4 simple ingredients – count ’em. 4!

1. Sundried tomatoes (very important)
2. Pine nuts
3. Parmesan
4. EVOO

How to use pesto

I already suggested soup but here’s some more ideas for using your Sundried Tomato Pesto

• Mixed through hot pasta like in this Salmon Pasta with Pesto
• as a pizza sauce or in calzone like this Pesto Chicken Calzone
• spread in sandwiches
• mixed into salad dressing
• over potato salad
• In pasta bakes like my Creamy Chicken & Tomato Pesto Pasta Bake
• mix it through cream cheese to make a pesto cream cheese dip
• swirled through bread dough right before baking

So, so many ways with pesto 🙂
