    I grew up in an Italian American neighborhood on the East Coast, so it's no wonder that my cooking tends to focus heavily on tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and traditional Italian flavors. My kids have not inherited my love of red sauce, so I often substitute pesto sauce with pastas and other dishes. Yes, they will eat pesto sauce but balk at tomato sauce. I don't get it! I recently made an easy crock pot recipe with chicken, pesto, and sun dried tomatoes and the flavors will knock your socks off.
