- pulse until you haved a smooth consistency.
- remove to an air tight container and stir in the cheese.
- refrigerate overnight.
- this is really good over angel hair pasta but you may find a way to use it that you like.

You are right, this really is tasty. A great tasting pesto. I made it just like you said, but I left the adobo sauce on a couple of the peppers because I love the taste. It really tasted good leaving some of the sauce on. We used this one on the pasta, and it was great. I am thinking of other things to use this on. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe, Polly. -

I made this last year and it was great and I am going to do another batch. I freeze them in ice cube trays and take as many as I need to use. Thanks for sharing! -
I love using this mixed with sour cream as a sauce for meat. (Particularly grilled chicken)
