    Amazing!!!!! I will never use another recipe. I did add some parmesan when I put a little too much olive oil in. So flavorful! Perfect with pasta for a quick and elegant dinner!

    Loved this recipe - I used half the (organic virgin olive oil, added lfresh lemon juice, toasted the pine nuts and used a three cheese mix (parmesan, romano and asagio - skipped the salt, as I thought the cheese added enough salt. Saw on Rachel Ray, that she likes to use pistachios and adds another herb to the basil (I think it was dill.

    This is our new favorite pesto recipe! Thanks for the tips about adding lemon juice and reducing the amount of oil. It's was especially fun to make with the Parmesan we brought back from Italy. Most excellent.

    This is SO GOOD! Will be my go-to recipe for pesto from now on. I used 1/2 the amount of oil, toasted walnuts, and added a squeeze of lemon. FABULOUS!

    Excellent recipe. Pine nuts were not available (due to the high price so I used slivered almonds for the first time as a substitute. Just as good as my usual with pignoles.

    First time I've ever made pesto. This was easy, fresh and tasty. I will make this again. I did try the lemon and liked it very much. Good call on that!! I served it with whole wheat spaghetti noodles.

    Perfect! For those who found the taste a little bitter, don't be afraid to use the kosher salt-I added a little extra and the flavor was perfect. Try it, it works!
