Trader Joe's Organic Roasted Red Pepper and Almond Pesto proves it. Roasted red peppers bring a sweet, smoky depth that basil pesto can't replicate. Almonds add a nuttier, earthier richness than pine nuts. The result is a pesto that's bolder, more complex, and more versatile than the classic — and it works on everything from pasta to sandwiches to pizza to a simple bread dip. USDA Organic, Italian-crafted, 80 calories per serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis 9.87 oz (280g) jar contains a USDA Organic pesto sauce made with roasted red peppers and almonds. Italian-crafted — produced in Italy using traditional pesto methods. 80 calories per serving. Contains tree nuts (almonds) and may contain other allergens — check the product label for the full allergen statement. Refrigerate after opening. The sauce is ready to use straight from the jar — no cooking required for cold applications like sandwiches and dips. For pasta, toss with hot pasta and a splash of pasta water to loosen the sauce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTrader Joe's has a knack for sourcing Italian specialty foods at prices that don't require a second thought. This pesto is a TJ's fan favorite — the roasted red pepper and almond combination is distinctive enough to stand out from standard basil pesto, but familiar enough to work in all the same applications. At Trader Joe's pricing, it's one of the best-value organic pestos available in the US market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo Trader Joe's nearby?
