    I used this receipe to make the latest batch of Pesto and it tasted fantastic!! I added a couple extra cloves of garlic and it packed a punch! (This a hint for those who think this receipe is balnd

    I made two batches with this recipes and the only thing I changed on the 2nd was to remove the black pepper. This took the edge off and made a creamier batch.

    This was so easy to make I will use this recipe over and over! Thanks!

    This sounded good, but it was a little bland in my opinion. It had too much olive oil and a really strong parmesan flavor, which is okay, but not what I was looking for. It would be good on a filled pasta, but doesn't have enough flavor to pair with fish or chicken. I did toast the nuts to bring a little more flavor to the party, but the help was minimal. Worth making if you have your own herb garden (which I do but if you are looking for something with a wow factor, this isn't it.

    This was the first time I tried making my own pesto. I have grown an over abundance of fresh herbs, so my basil will definitely be used again for this recipe. Tonight we will enjoy over linguine with grilled shrimp and veggies!

    I am a huge pesto fan, and whenever we have a lot of pesto leftover, this is always my go to recipe. This is so delicious and I absolutely recommend this to everyone!

    I've made lots of pesto but this was awsome. I almost cut my fingers trying to lick the processor blade so I didn't waste any. Sorry, but there was not too much olive oil or garlic. You can freeze this. I use ice cube trays to get about a tbsp cube & take out what I nees for cooking.

    Delicious recipe! I love all pesto's this one had a familiar taste. The recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of olive oil and 9 cloves of garlic. I was skeptical so I used 4 normal sized cloves and 3/4 cups of oil. I love garlic but 9 cloves is way to much. And unless you want to drown in oil please don't put the whole amount. The final product was delicious!!! :

    I doubled the ratio of walnuts because I didn't have pine nuts, and used a little less olive oil to cut down the fat....still tasted delicious! Very good sauce...

    I like to add some cream cheese when making Pesto for Pasta. It helps the sauce stick to the pasta and makes it creamier. Although some Pesto Purist will not agree.

    Great pesto! Yummy! BTW, yes you can freeze this. I've frozen pesto in the past and it is fine. Just don't freeze it for too long!
