    Pesto Recipe

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This is, without a doubt, the best pesto I've ever made. The flavors blend very well together, and it's so tasty our whole... family can't get enough of it. Tyler- you have outdone every pesto recipe we've ever come across. Read more

    Fabulous

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I've never seen parsley added to a pesto recipe before and found that intriging. This recipe turned out awesome. It was... easy to put together and delish. I added some to pasta and served it as a side dish last night. People were licking their plates because it was so tasty. Sometimes I find pesto has just a tad too much "bite" but I think the parsley tempered it just enough. I made a triple batch just so I could freeze some in cubes to add to recipes over the next few months.Read more

    Great flavor

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This recipe is easy and very good. It will taste better the longer it "rests" in the refrigerator.

    Pesto flavor explosion

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    We have made pesto before and it has came out very tasty. We have even modified pesto recipies to our liking. This recipe... for pesto has blown all the other recipes we used away. The flavors that lit up this recipe came from the red pepper flakes and pine nuts. We have used this recipe with many dishes and everyone in my family agrees this is the best that we have ever made.Read more

    Pleasantly potent pesto

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Fantastic. I make this recipe with one extra garlic clove & grated Romano, but alas not pine nuts. It must be extra special... with pine nuts. My guests devoured this down to the scaps on the bowl.Read more

    So delicious!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This recipe was so fast and easy to make and it made me look like a total gourmet! My friend loved it and I even liked it... (I'm not a pesto fan generally). I think its because it came out thicker and more flavorful than other pestos I've had-- even from fancy restaurants. Thank Tyler for another keeper!Read more
