A few weeks ago I posted a recipe for tortellini with kale pesto. I keep hearing from people near and far telling me how much they have enjoyed this recipe. I agree, it’s a keeper! While the kale pesto is delicious on tortellini, I decided to make a panini sandwich out of it and the result was amazing.
My panini maker gets a lot of use. It takes ordinary sandwiches to the next level. For this recipe you start with a batch of kale pesto. One of the best things about this pesto is that you don’t cook the kale first, you just combine everything in the food processor.
Next you build your sandwich with sliced tomato, fresh mozzarella and kale pesto.
Put that in the panini maker for about four minutes and it will be perfect. This is such a delicious sandwich to make that looks complex but is really quite easy. Enjoy!
