Really great.  I agree that it needed more oil and I added a bit more basil.  Tossed and baked it with some chicken then put it on top of some angel hair pasta and added a dash more of the pesto to coat.  I will say the walnut lacks a bit of the flavor of pine nuts.  Was thinking next time Ill try using black walnuts, which pack a bit more punch.  Overall, delicious!
