    So easy and so good! I didn't use the cheese and used 1/2 cup of olive oil total. I spread it on a french loaf with fresh mozzarella and sliced vine tomatoes. Pure heaven.

    This is such an easy recipe to make, and quick as well. Taste is awesome, to quote my wife "who needs the bread". One minor change. Used pecans, one of the only nuts my wife can eat. Next time I'll use a little less EVOO, and add some lemon juice to take the edge off the EVOO. Basil was right out of the garden and into the FP. Couldn't be any greener.

    Used roasted soy nuts instead of pine nuts. Added juice of 1/2 lemon. Everything else remained the same. Great flavor and consistency. Made enough to freeze 1/2.

    Too much olive oil muddled the flavors. I used lemon zest and juice from half a lemon to brighten it up. I recommend toasting the nuts to give some more depth to the flavor. The garlic level was just right. Perfect ratings should be reserved for recipes you don't have to change to make perfect.

    peanuts instead of pine nuts,
    lemon juice to loosen the pesto paste,
    3 cloves of garlic,
    worth freezing!
    looking forward to the next batch with the pine nuts.

    This pesto is easy to make and tastes amazing! It look so beautiful and professional. I actually ran out of oil so I did not put the rest in after the initial measurment and it turned out just as good. I used this on top of salmon and the next day put it in a turkey and cheese panini. I put it in a bowl and put plastic warp on top of it. Enjoy!
