My nasturtium plants were growing crazy so I needed some way to use them besides salads. This fit the bill and came out great! I followed the directions exactly except I added some good asaigo cheese. Yum! It was a bit of work getting the leaves blended -- had to add a little water to the mix -- but it got there eventually. Oh yeah, I halved the recipe for two. I served it over poached fish and also used it to dress our salad. There was still a lot leftover so I'm marinating two pieces of boneless, skinless chicken in it right now and will grill the chicken for tonight's dinner. I'll definitely make this again. Thanks! -
I love the taste of this recipe but I ammended it slightly by adding more hotsauce, some fresh lemon juice, mixed nuts and 3 tbs of cream cheese. I managed to fill a 600gm jar and will be using this uniquely wonderful and tasty pesto sauce later tonight with pasta.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
