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~
