Test Kitchen Tip: Divide Traditional Basil Pesto sauce between
two ice cube trays; cover with plastic wrap and freeze. When the
pesto sauce is frozen solid, pop the pesto cubes out and place in
a resealable plastic freezer bag. Remove pesto cubes from bag as
needed. For an individual serving, defrost one pesto cube and toss
with hot cooked pasta or spread on your favorite sandwich or wrap.
