"Looks like the salt has been corrected to 1 teaspoon ( tho I used about 1/2 that). Otherwise, I made it as listed here and it turned out great. It does thicken in the fridge (if u have leftovers), so I had to remind my family that a little goes a long way once it's warmed on pasta. " - Thekidsmom1224Yield: 1 Ready in 10 minutes

Delicious! That's what my husband and 3 year old said :)

I think this recipe would be outstanding if you would omit the salt entirely, as it can be added to taste after the fact. This is especially true if you are using a good quality cheese, as it tends to 'salt up' a recipe.

Used 1/2 the salt, slivered almonds instead of pine nuts & a dash of lemon. Perfect!

Easy.....

Se puede sustituír el Parmesano por pecorino.
Importante: los ajos deben picarse primero en el procesador.

I love it! I toast my pine nuts first.

Made this pesto, but added sun dried tomatoes and anchovies. Was great!

Did not use salt, added walnuts instead of pine nuts. Easy recipe and great tasting pesto.

I can't stop making this sauce - it's easy, fun, and tasty! The leftovers hold up well in the freezer. I will agree 1tsp is too much salt; I use about half that and it turns out great!

We've been using a pesto sauce from Costco for a chicken pesto pizza we make and this recipe blows the stuff Costco carries our of the water! Delicious!

Super easy and great raves by all who had some.
I had a party and this was the hit. Actually sent the recipe home with a few friends who have since made it and also got great complements on it. |

1 tsp. is way too much salt! I was able to salvage by adding extra basil, pine nuts, and EVOO. Also, added a handful of walnuts. Great over pasta and in sandwiches!

Delicious. I used BigOven to scale the recipe way, way down to two servings; the recipe above (3 whole cups of basil?) is way too large. The recipe as presently written probably serves 24.
