    I purchased a basil bunch....trying to start a garden and this is my first time trying pesto. This was soooooo good, didn't use pinenuts because my family are not into nuts but used everything else, really good, will be making this more often instead of the normal garlic bread. The green basil makes it so pretty will be good for St. Patricks day.
