      Brilliant idea to use pesto! I always have pesto on hand but I don't always have fresh basil. We eat this all the time in the summer months and everyone that's tried it prefers it this way. It's simple to make and very flavorful. Thank you for sharing this.

      This recipe was so easy and so delicious! I love the idea of using pesto rather than plain basil. Put it out during an outdoor party and it was gone in 5 minutes flat! Thanks Ev. As always, a great post!!

      Mmmm! After making Kittencal's Kittencal's Perfect Pesto, (which I highly recommend), I'll never go for store-bought again... unless my herd o' basil plants dies on me. ;) Anyway, this was absolutely delicious! I added just a touch of balsamic vinegar to mine and some fresh ground tri-colored pepper, then gobbled them up like I hadn't eaten in months. This morning, I'm eating them, as I type, for breakfast! So simple and packed full of flavor. Thank you for such a great dish, Evelyn!

      That's it, the old tomato-mozzarella-basil recipe is out the window. Pesto works SO well in this! I mixed the pesto in to make sure everything was covered in it and omitted the extra olive oil - delicious, delicious!! Ev, you're a genius.

      This was excellent & I even had to get creative. Didn't have fresh mozzarella balls, so I used a gratin mix of shredded mozzarella & gouda. I "nuked" the cheese just to soften & allow them to be well combined. I formed the mix into a log, refrigerated it & then sliced it for the tomatoes & topped w/my red pesto. Yum!
