This Creamy Pesto Dressing recipe is an Old Spaghetti Factory Copycat.  Please use dried basil in this recipe, fresh basil won’t work.  The Classy Cooking recipe did use “a large handfull of fresh basil”  (and warned about old dried basil!).  Your choice. Other recipes added a dash of hot pepper sauce.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 c buttermilk
• 1 c mayonnaise
• 1/2 c shredded parmesan
• 6 tsp dried basil
• 1 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
• salt and pepper

Diretions:

1. Combine all ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Whisk to combine.
3. Refrigerate.  It takes 48 hours for the buttermilk to thicken.
4. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Serves: 6

Notes:  Bla.  Thin. Might have been the several years old dried basil!  Added 8 oz cream cheese and some onion soup mix and had a nice dip for veggies.  Thickened two days later.
