Pasta

>>15138616
Presto

Just eat it out of the jar.

If you bought it, you found it with the pasta sauces or fresh pastas.
Do that's a start, my guy.

>>15138616
>What do i use this labeled barilla pesto product i found right next to the Barilla pasta products?
Great thread op!

>>15138616
I have the same bottle are you from Croatia?
Was wondering the same, I don't eat pasta but I used it with meats and it was good

>>15138616
Smear it on a wheat bread and drizzle with balsamic. Pair with dark red wine for dinner or sangria for lunch

>>15138707
i just googled a picture of pesto, anon, i've never even heard of barilla
and i know it can go with pasta but literally anything goes with pasta
you could have fucking ketchup pasta and it would turn out alright

>>15138730
Understandable. I assumed you would post a picture of the same item you bought. Can i ask why you would blindly buy a jar of something that you didn't know it's intended use for?

Make some pasta, cook some onions and peppers, add some sundried tomatoes and toss it with some heated pesto.

Mix it with mayo and put it on a savory sandwich.
Good luck

Good on a sandwich with egg salad.

>>15138730
>you could have fucking ketchup pasta and it would turn out alright
That's fucking disgusting.
On the other hand, pesto on pasta is one of the best things on earth. Don't make the mistake to heat up the pesto, tho. It must remained uncooked.

>>15138616
I eat it straight out the jar. Seriously.

>>15138826
It's because of the basil, right? It turns bitter when cooked, if I remember right.

>>15138755
>Can i ask why you would blindly buy a jar of something that you didn't know it's intended use for?
ran out of basil and the shop i normally go to didnt have any; i understood basil was a major component of it so i figured i would try it out, only it smelled substantially different to what i was expecting

>>15138817
Or on a baguette with chicken, tomatoes and mozzarella

goes good with chicken and most white fish, slathered on and baked, can mix it with bread crumbs for some crunch too
sometimes i make a sort of caprese-ish sandwich with pesto, mozz and tomato
i'll eat pasta with pesto on it's own if im lazy but i also like it with mushrooms, cherry tomatos and spinach
some brands of pesto are total trash and all jarred stuff sucks compared to fresh but it's too much hassle for me to make at home since i don't have a food processor

>>15138729
>bread smeared with canned sauce and booze for lunch

do Americans really?

I think your supposed to throw that shit out

>>15138616
Imagine buying something so easy to make

>>15138684
This is the true way to enjoy pesto

>>15138730
You should put cyanide on your pasta. It will turn out alright.

>>15138730
>>15138826
That's a Japanese dish called Napolitan.

>>15138616
Throw it in the garbage, but some fresh herbs and cheese and olive oil and make a pesto that will get the girl you made it for to love your balls for dessert.

>>15138956
Its just wine lil nigga.

Not OP, but I also bought a jar of pesto recently. Do I just pour it straight out of the jar onto freshly cooked pasta? What pasta shapes are best for it?

>>15138616
you don't buy pesto
you make your own
store-bought pesto is abhorrent

>>15138616
it's a pasta sauce, you don't use much.
White people sometimes make a sallad dressing with it or put it on pizza

It's really not worth buying because it always costs a stupid amount, and the only thing that makes is seem reasonably priced is the unbelievable price of basic in supermarkets.

>>15138616
Bread spread

I like to buy this shit from Aldi and just put it on pasta by itself or maybe with a bit of parmesan, it doesn't even need anything else to taste delicious, and I've tried buying more expensive brands of this kind of red pesto and they all taste worse than the Aldi stuff

>>15138616
JARRED PESTO IS SUCH SHIT

>>15138616
barilla brand pesto is vile. too salty with a bullshit "green" flavour, not creamy but pasty.
i suggest trowing it in the trash.

>>15138616
I'm going to assume you're mentality retarded and break it down for you. Rub some on toasted bread, rub some on chicken breast, use it as a sauce for pasta, for fucks sake, grab a spoon and eat it out the jar.

Alla Genovese is almost the worst.

Official pesto powerlevels:

ricotta e noci > alla calabrese > con pomodori secchi > rosso > genovese > basilico & rucola

>>15140071
Leave Jarred Pesto alone.

>>15138956
>do americans really?

>>15138616
put it on pasta or as sauce for a sandwich (for example with chicken, dried tomatoes and some greens)

>>15138708
Do you also think coca cola is Croatian, you retard?

>>15138941
This, but I also add roasted red pepper

Pesto goes great on good bread and sandwiches

>>15141522
>t. s*rb

>>15138616
Mix it with ground turkey thighs and a little breadcrumbs. Makes a great burger with leaf lettuce and red onions.

>>15141522
It's the most famous brand in Croatia, and usually most famous brands here don't coincide with American or global ones

>>15138616
shrimp marinade

>>15138616
hot dogs!

>>15141838
Barilla is Italian and global you dummy
give us some Croat pesto and/or pasta dish and all will be forgiven

>>15138663
anon you dumbass the label clearly says pesto

>>15138616
Is barillas pesto quality? I’ve only bought costcos before

Is pesto from the supermarket shelf comparable to homemade pesto?

Pesto is great but it's kind of a pain in the ass to make?

>>15138730
>you could have fucking ketchup pasta and it would turn out alright
My grandfather who came from Italy thought it was a fucking delicacy while his Irish wife looked at him as though he were calling the Pope a cocksucker. I used to eat it too but haven't in years.

>>15142282
I did this with some brats in a hot dog bun, it was pretty damned good

Pesto made with pistachios instead of pignolis is the shit

throw it away fatty

>>15142454
As far as I know pesto isn't really commonly used in Croatia
And all Croatian pasta dishes are more or less Italian with a slavic touch
But I'm not sure because I'm not Dalmatian, I'm from Croatia Proper

>>15143042
Peka is popular in Croatia that I know, I tasted octopus from it for the first time this year and it was amazing, at least the octopus meat itself

>>15138755
>heated pesto
I am amazed no italian cursed your family yet

>>15138616
just read the back of the label

>>15143239
I meant work the pesto in so it's warm. Please don't actually try to heat up the pesto on a stove.

Quessuedilla (? Bro idk I'm not a linguist) with pesto. In fact put anything in between.

Take a piece of salmon (skin on(that means one side)) and spread pesto on the pink flesh, then place under the grill for 20-30 minutes. Serve with steamed asparagus and some couscous.

>>15138616
Put that shiz in some scrambled eggs!
>a little spoonful is also decent on top of sunny side or packed eggs on toast.

>>15143031
It’s pesto, little bit goes a long way friend
>Also you called that anon fat but count your calories? Like a woman, or fat/formally fat person, I’m picking up on some projection.

Lot's of options but buy a decent pesto for the love of god. Shit pesto will cost a lot still, take more of it to get the same flavor into the dish, and waste space because it can easily pack twice the flavor as the cheap stuff like that Barilla sauce you started the thread with.

>>15138616
Toss it out and make fresh pesto. The jarred stuff is okay, but it doesn't hold a candle to fresh, which itself doesn't keep all that well. It's like using jarred minced garlic vs fresh minced.
