Frequently Asked Questions About Pesto Tomato
What is Pesto Tomato?
Pesto Tomato is a tomato-and-pesto sauce with a rich, savory flavor. It works as a pasta sauce, spread, or topping; the exact mix of herbs, cheese, oil, and nuts can vary by product.
How do you use Pesto Tomato?
Use Pesto Tomato on pasta, sandwiches, pizza, roasted vegetables, or toast. Start with a small spoonful and add more to taste, since its concentrated pesto flavor can quickly dominate milder ingredients.
Is Pesto Tomato the same as sun-dried tomato pesto?
No. Pesto Tomato is described as a blend with fresh tomato, while sun-dried tomato pesto is made with dried tomatoes, which have a more concentrated, sweet-tart flavor and a thicker texture.
Can you make Pesto Tomato at home?
Yes. Blend fresh tomato with pesto-style ingredients such as basil, olive oil, garlic, hard cheese, and nuts. Adjust the texture by pulsing briefly for a chunkier sauce or blending longer for a smoother spread.
What pasta goes best with Pesto Tomato?
Pesto Tomato pairs well with shapes that hold sauce, such as fusilli, penne, and farfalle. Toss it with just-cooked pasta off the heat, loosening it with a little pasta water if the coating is too thick.
Can Pesto Tomato be used on pizza?
Yes. Spread a thin layer of Pesto Tomato over pizza dough in place of, or alongside, tomato sauce. Keep other toppings fairly simple so the pesto flavor remains noticeable, and avoid adding too much sauce.
How should you store Pesto Tomato after opening?
Refrigerate Pesto Tomato after opening and close the container tightly. Use a clean utensil each time and follow the package’s storage and use-by directions; do not leave the opened product sitting out for an extended period.
Can you freeze Pesto Tomato?
Yes, Pesto Tomato can be frozen in a tightly sealed container or divided into small portions. Thaw it in the refrigerator and stir before using; freezing may change the texture, especially if the sauce separates.
Does Pesto Tomato need to be heated?
No. Pesto Tomato can be eaten straight from the container as a spread or topping. For warm dishes, stir it in near the end of cooking rather than boiling it for a long time, which can dull its fresh flavors.
What can you substitute for Pesto Tomato in a recipe?
For a similar taste, combine basil pesto with tomato sauce or chopped fresh tomato. Plain basil pesto is another option, but it will lack the tomato’s tang, so add tomato separately if the recipe relies on it.

What is Pesto Tomato?
Pesto Tomato combines tomato with pesto, the herb-and-oil sauce associated with Liguria in north-western Italy. Recipes vary: the tomato may be fresh or sun-dried, and the pesto brings a fragrant, savoury quality that can include basil, olive oil and other traditional ingredients. Expect a tangy-sweet tomato note, a rich herbal flavour and a texture that may be smooth or slightly chunky.
In Italy, tomato pesto is commonly stirred through pasta or spread on bread; it also works well in sandwiches, wraps and as a dip. For a quick meal, toss a small spoonful with pasta and vegetables, or spread it thinly on toast. It is flavourful and relatively oil-rich, so a little can go a long way.
