    YUM! I made this pesto with a huge loaf of french bread. My family hardly ate the rest of their dinner, but managed to eat all of the bread. I'm going to try this pesto with a shrimp pasta and just add a little lemon.

    I've made this recipe exactly as is and, of course, it is wonderful... I've also made this recipe adding 3/4 C. of my mint, as well as sun-dried tomatoes... Wasn't able to get pine nuts at $28.00 lb., so I substituted dry roasted sunflower seeds -- fabulous! You'd never know they weren't pine nuts... No matter what you do with this base recipe, you cannot go wrong... Wonderful!

    this is a nice change from garlic bread. It is very pretty. I tosted the bread first on the stove top and smeard the pesto over the top of the bread. Soooo goodl It looked so nice next to the Ultimate Spaghetti and Clam Sauce. Def a make againrr!

    Quick and easy and shows limitless possibilities, just by changing the vehicle. Afraid that the flavor would come on too strong but it didn't, a lovely flavor and a nice alternative to something like garlic bread.

    I made this without the parsley and it was really tasty! It has an excellent flavor with the garlic, olive oil, and basil coming together. The good thing about pesto is that it actually tastes better throughout the week and the sauce sits in your fridge.

    This goes great on toast, pasta, crackers, anything really, My only recommendation is to make sure to save some parmesan reggiano to sprinkle/shave on top of the bread.

    You wont be disappointed.

    Awesome alternative to the typical garlic bread. Also, I was in a pinch, so I used store bought pesto, which turned out great. I will try homemade pesto next time. I see this being a good recipe for entertaining....it is so easy to make, yet it would really "wow" friends and family.

    So easy but soooooooo good. I made this on Thanksgiving over pita bread. Spread over pita then cut with a pizza cutter. It was the only appetizer completely gone.
