Pesto's are really easy to make and I always enjoy playing around with different flavours. One of my favorite pesto's is this sundried tomato pesto which is as easy to make as throwing everything into a food processor and pureeing. In addition to being super simple to make this pesto is just packed with flavour! I like using pesto's like this in pasta or as a condiment in sandwiches.
