Puree It into a Sauce
Pesto may be best known as a pasta sauce, yet it's such a versatile condiment to have in your refrigerator. You can spread it on sandwiches, spoon it over grilled chicken or serve it with roasted vegetables. This version incorporates eight cups of kale, which has a deep, earthy flavor that nicely complements pasta (especially whole wheat). But there's also two cups of basil, so you still get the herb's fragrant, lemony notes.
