I have made this pesto about 4778 times. It is always delicious, whether I need to fill in with a little spinach because the basil supply is low or not. Family’s favorite prep is heated up with a little milk or half & half, served over pasta with chopped tomatoes and parmesan on top!

Perfect!! I was licking the spatula. Can’t wait to have it on pasta tonight for dinner.

This tastes great on PW’s Tomato Basil Pizza. I used her homemade dough as well.

First time! i loved this. I’m not sure if this was just a food processor issue, but mine was pretty thick so I added more oil. (used walnuts, worked great).

Yumm! This is my first time making pesto, too…but our herb garden has been a success! This was great.

Twinks!!! I just made this and it’s AMAZING! I just picked my garen basil and used walnuts and added a couple extra cloves of garlic and WOW! I have never made Pesto before…I actually thought I didn’t like it, so I must have had a “bad” one at sometime. This is going to be a new addiction for me! Thanks for the recipe! Mind if I post this on my blog (giving you credit, of course!)???

I NEED this recipe! And I’ve been on the hunt for pine-nuts to make Pesto, but they are nowhere to be found…something about low production last fall, blah, blah, blah.

I was whining about it when somebody just told me the other day to use walnuts. I see your recipe says you can, but have you ever done that? Was it just as good? It sure would be less expensive! Let me know!

This is the first time I’ve ever made my own pesto, and I’ll never go back! I used pecans (because that’s what I had on hand). I thew it together with some bowtie pasta and sun dried tomatoes. So easy – thanks!

Very good! Perfect measurements. Thanks. I’m going to try your variations as well.
