Pesto has as many uses as it does variations. This basic basil version can brighten up any number of things, from grilled corn to vegetable soup, or use it as a pizza sauce like we do on our Crisp Bacon, Asparagus, and Goat Cheese Grilled Pizza.

Game plan: The pesto can be made up to 3 days in advance. To store, press plastic wrap on top of the pesto so it is touching the surface. Cover with a lid or another piece of plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
