During the last year, being at home, I have been spending a lot of hours in the kitchen. I love cooking but I am running into a dilemma I have run out of new ideas on what to cook for dinner.

I was so happy to find Haven’s Kitchen Sauce.

They come in these cute little pouches, with seriously fresh ingredients (and also happen to be vegan + gluten-free There are seven different flavors: Tangy BBQ Sauce, Zippy Chili Harissa, Ginger Miso, Nutty Lemongrass, Golden Tumeric Tahini, Red Pepper Romesco, and Herby Chimichurri. All you have to do is squish them into your saute pan alongside literally whatever it is you’re cooking. If you’re stuck for ideas, they even offer a bunch of simple and yummy recipes on their website here.

The company’s tagline is “cooking with confidence,” and though it sounds cheesy, knowing I can count on HK Sauces as my trusty little kitchen sidekick, makes me feel infinitely more confident come dinner time.

Them come in pouches. They’re easy. They’re neat. They show off the beautiful sauce. Also, they happen to be the most sustainable packaging option. The pouches are also 100% recyclable through our partnership with Terracycle.

I am sure most of you are familiar with Barilla pasta and sauces. I have been using Barilla for years since my favorite athlete is their brand ambassador. I always love trying new dishes so I  was excited to receive a jar of the Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto sauce. The ingredients include Italian basil and grated Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese, along with cashews, olive oil and garlic. The possibilities for this pesto are truly endless.

It does live up to its “creamy” name.  This is a fairly thick pesto which needs little stirring. Enjoy yours right out of the jar, either cold as a spread or dip, or heated as a pasta or pizza sauce.

Since its beginnings in Parma, Italy in 1877, four generations of the Barilla family have been passing down the secrets to great-quality pesto. Barilla pesto sauce delivers a burst of Italian flavor to a wide range of dishes including pasta, pizza, sandwiches, fish, chicken, vegetables, and many other delicious recipes! The Barilla Group is recognized worldwide as a symbol of Italian know-how. All of their products and brands bring to the world foods that are joyful, healthy, honest, and inspired by the Italian lifestyle and the Mediterranean diet.

Are you ready to buy a jar of pesto but not quite sure what you’re going to do with it? Look no further, friend. I am about to give you the best ways to use your small but mighty super ingredient!

Pesto is more versatile than many people realize!

Seek inspiration from some of these pesto uses:

  • Stir into pasta
  • Stir into pasta sauce (a tomato base or alfredo sauce both work beautifully when mixed with pesto!)
  • Spread onto a sandwich
  • Mix with sour cream or yogurt to create a veggie dip
  • Marinate meat in it
  • Mix with butter to create a pesto butter to serve over grilled meats
