A couple of years ago my mom gave out jars of dried basil and a recipe for pesto sauce for Christmas. We've been making it often ever since. I've tried a few different things with it over the years and it's always been good. Our most recent version is a lazy-man's pesto pasta. I found (and got free with coupons--hooray!) an Italian pesto dressing from Kraft, so we use that along with some fun additions. Here's all it takes: the dressing; pasta (whatever shape you like); feta; cooked and cut up chicken; and fresh tomatoes, sliced. You just cook up the pasta, drain it, toss it with the dressing, and add the other stuff as you like it.
