Creamy Pesto Sauce Recipe
This creamy pesto sauce is so simple to put together and has so many yummy uses.
The creaminess is thanks to cream cheese. Cream cheese keeps for ages in the fridge and you can even freeze it, making this a convenient sauce to make up when you’re well overdue a trip to the grocery store!
You can use any jar of pesto you like. I had both red and green pesto varieties in my pantry to choose from. I went for the green pesto in this instance.
You could of course make pesto from scratch if you’d prefer, which is really easy to do. (Here’s an easy homemade pesto recipe for you.)
2 Ingredient Pesto Sauce Recipe
- Cream Cheese
- Pesto Sauce
- Place half to one tub of cream cheese into a bowl.

5 Ways To Use This Simple Sauce
1. Salad – mix together a salad of spinach, cucumber and feta and drizzle over the pesto sauce.
2. Chicken – either cook chicken and mix through the sauce or enjoy a portion of leftover roast chicken mixed through with the pesto sauce.
3. Scrambled Eggs – whisk 2-3 eggs per person and whisk in 1 to 2 tablespoons of the pesto sauce. Heat butter or coconut oil in a frying pan and cook the scrambled eggs until done to your liking.
4. Pasta or Zucchini Noodles – cook pasta or zucchini noodles until done to your liking and then pour over the pesto sauce and heat through.
5. Wrap or Lettuce Wrap – spread the pesto onto a wrap or lettuce wrap and the top with cheese, chicken and your ingredients of choice.
