  1. Will be making this pesto again. I added several canned quarters of artichoke hearts and its juice in place of pasta water. Very Delicious!
     
  2. Love this! Thank you!
     
  3. So so yummy! I used a food processor and I love it how easy is to put together. I grow basil on my balcony so I'll make this a lot in the summer. I used walnuts instead of the pine nuts.
     
  4. Yum! Very fresh tasting with a nice tang. I made to use as part of another recipe but enjoyed some over crusty bread as an afternoon snack.
     
  5. One word - YUM. Okay, maybe a few more words... This pesto couldn't be easier to put together. I made about half the recipe because it's only me eating it. I haven't decided if I'm going to save it for spreading on my bread or to have it over pasta. Either way, it's going to be delicious. I know...I've already sampled. Great blend of simple ingredients to make a flavorful pesto. A must try. ~Made for the Sept. Aussie/NZ Swap~
