9 Reviews of Old Spaghetti Factory Creamy Pesto Dressing Recipe

My husband and I have been going to the Old Spaghetti Factory since we first started dating, and we've always LOVED their creamy pesto dressing. We've loved it so much that I've often thought about replicating it at home, but never tried--until now. Since the recipe already called for 1 cup mayonnaise, I didn't think the 3/4 cup oil sounded right, so I omitted it. I followed the rest of the recipe exactly and couldn't believe what I was tasting. It tasted just like the Old Spaghetti Factory dressing!! I think if you add the extra oil it will be too oily. I'm not watching my calories either; I just think it's a matter of taste. Without the oil, we think it is exactly like the original. Thank you for a great recipe!!

I always loved this dressing and was so happy to find the recipe. It is so yummy everyone in my house loved it even my picky little sister. The only thing is I dont think it makes 20 servings more like 6 , and I didnt use any oil either but came out perfect. Thanks for posting I make this all the time about once a week! I dont even buy dressing anymore!

Well I'm not that dressing savy, and I used the oil and it turned out fan-freaking-tastic. So either-or I'd say.

I thought it was very good. Everyone liked it. I doubled the recipe and I just used I 3/4 cup olive oil. Other then that made just as is. Thank you for sharing.

I'm a fanatic when it comes to Old Spaghetti Factory's pesto dressing--sometimes I'd go there and buy a pint of it! Thanks to this recipe, I'll never have to do that again. Like many others, I left out the oil--it's totally unnecessary--and I substituted the romano for grated parmesan, and it turned out great. In the future I'd probably use a little less mayo, but other than that, it's exactly like the restaurant's!
