this recipe is begging to be used with pasta and that is exactly what i plan on doing with it, soon soon soon! i did a small variation and used almonds instead of walnuts. yum! http://simpleandamazing.blogspot.com/2012/02/food-matters-project-roasted-red-pepper.html
Che squisito! We put ours on top of polenta, using almonds instead of walnuts and adding a Bulgarian feta goat milk cheese. http://culinary-adventures-with-cam.blogspot.com/2012/02/food-matters-project-roasted-pepper.html

Obsessed with this recipe! I added white beans, basil, extra garlic, and Parmesan. Couldn’t stop eating it right out of the bowl, and I’m now obsessed with homemade roasted peppers.

My Post is here… http://www.girlichef.com/2012/02/roasted-red-pepper-and-walnut-pesto.html Love it!
I couldn’t find roasted red peppers (I live out in the middle of no-where) and hate buying peppers out of season so I opted for a Sun dried tomato and walnut pesto (which I then used on a breakfast pizza!)

This breakfast pizza looks so good, great idea!
I made the white bean dip variation and absolutely loved it! I put it on a sandwich with roasted eggplant and baby spinach. SO good.

I changed quite a lot and made a roasted carrot and sesame pesto. I have eaten it over udon noodles, it was really good.

I made the pesto using the jarred red peppers from my pantry, and mixed it with whole wheat spaghetti topped with chopped walnuts and parmesan. Delicious!

Loved how easy the homemade roasted red peppers were to make! I added parmesan to the pesto and used it as a sauce for whole wheat pasta and “Twisted Chick Parm” http://keelymarie.com/2012/02/20/twisted-chick-parm-roasted-red-pepper-walnut-pesto/

Spicy Roasted Red Pepper and White Bean Spread – I also swapped out the walnuts and used almonds plus white beans. I added a kick with some lemon juice and red pepper flakes. It was great on a veggie sandwich. http://bigeatstinykitchen.com/2012/02/20/spicy-roasted-red-pepper-and-white-bean-spread/
I love this recipe! I wanted to use what was in my pantry so I went with almonds instead of walnuts then gave it a Mediterranean twist by adding olives and smoked paprika. Delicious over pasta

Turned the pesto into pretty little crostini! http://vanillalemon.com/2012/02/20/roasted-red-pepper-and-walnut-pesto-crostini/

Our post is here! By all reports, it was out of this world delicious: http://college.biggirlssmallkitchen.com/2012/02/the-food-matters-project-roasted-red-pepper-and-walnut-pesto.html
I kinda went in a different direction than pesto, but it was still so good!

I loved spreading mine into a pita with lots of veggies. Such a wonderful condiment! http://www.givingtable.org/archives/1663
Polenta cakes with braised chard, roasted tomatoes, and roasted red pepper pesto: http://adrienneats.blogspot.com/2012/02/polenta-cakes-braised-chard-with.html Yum.
I made whole wheat pizza topped with the pesto and goat cheese rounds. It was delish!
http://lexiskitchensb.blogspot.com/2012/02/roasted-red-pepper-and-walnut-pesto.html
I snuck in a little spinach and parmesan in the pesto, and served it over homemade wheat pasta. My hands were messy and my heart was happy. http://thefauxmartha.com/2012/02/20/roasted-red-pepper-pesto/

I tried it the original way (no cheese or beans) as a dip, added a little to a turkey sandwich as a spread, and then used the leftover as a pasta sauce… delicious! http://saltandpeppersf.com/2012/02/20/roasted-red-pepper-and-walnut-dip/
I made the version with white beans, added a (big) squeeze of lemon and made little open-face sandwiches. I wish I had these for lunch right now! http://www.loveandlemons.com/2012/02/20/roasted-red-pepper-spread/
Here’s my take: Oh So Good~ Basil Pesto

Pingback: Red Pepper Pesto with Roasted Cauliflower | Cookie and Kate
Whew! I whipped up some pesto this afternoon and paired it with roasted cauliflower. Amazing.
Great pick, Heather! I’m inspired to spread it on all sorts of things now that I’ve seen all the other members’ fabulous ideas for it. http://cookieandkate.com/2012/red-pepper-pesto-recipe/
Great choice Heather! I made this pesto with the 8 peppers that Mark Bittman suggested and it was a lot. That was a very good thing because I got to play with it and used it in a variety of ways. However, I liked it best with some homemade pasta.

Hi everyone! I’m new as of this week and really excited to be a part of this project!
This was a fantastic choice Heather! I’ve already used the pesto 3 different ways!
For my post I made a twice baked sweet potato with the roasted red pepper and walnut pesto, a little dill and some creamy goat cheese. Yum!

Love your recipe!
Hi Gals,
I made the recipe with my homemade peppers, leaving out the basil, and boy was it delicious!!!
And the recipe looked like too much, so I also cut the recipe to 1/3.

The difficult part of this recipe is deciding what to do with it! DELICIOUS! I didn’t have any fresh basil so I added some sweet peas to my ‘pesto’ and paired it with some baked white fish!

Loved this! Excited to freeze the leftovers for easy dinners later on. http://sarahscucinabella.com/2012/02/21/roasted-red-pepper-sunflower-and-walnut-pesto/
I had a great time hosting this week – and totally loved seeing everybody’s twists, turns, adaptations and fabulous uses of/for this “pesto”! My mouth watered a little each time I visited a post…
1st week cooking with everyone and loved the recipe! I used it on Pizza
I froze the rest in 1 TBsp portions since it’s such a big batch, but looking forward to trying everyone’s variations!

What a delicious recipe! Unfortunately my local had no red peppers, but I did have an abundance of kale – I thought this would make a good substitute with a few little changes (I thought I’d better change the walnuts for cashews to add a little sweetness as the kale is already quite bitter). Can’t wait to try everyone’s takes! Thanks.

So excited for this recipe when I finally get a chance to do some home cooking. I’ve had a bag of walnuts for quite sometime and this will be the perfect recipe to try it out with. As we probably all have a weakness for pasta, this should be a bit more of an update on our usua sauce recipes! Will definitely be posting pictures of it shortly. It’s great to see so much support in this community and definitely look forward to participating more.
A bit delayed, but here’s the link to our Red Pesto recipe!
