"I love pesto, but the commercial pestos and recipes I come across have so much oil, I can't bring myself to try them. Using a couple of recipes as a guide, I fiddled around until I came up with one that had the right consistency." -Kris McDowell, Eagan, MN
I love pesto, and love this recipe is a healthy verison. i didn't bother to mince the garlic or chop the nuts, just put in the food processor and let it do the work for me. i also didn't feel like it needed more salt than is in the Parmesan. Love making from basil in the garden. Definitely will try freezing too.
Read MoreSuper easy to make. Skipped the garlic and it still tasted great.
Read MoreI always double the recipe and use any nut I have around. It's so much less fattening than any other pesto recipe. A real keeper.
Read MoreA great light pesto recipe! Not oily at all, just a smooth light consistency. I actually didn't add the additional salt, and used 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese, and the saltiness was enough for me. i also doubled the walnuts and toasted them before. great recipe!
Read MoreI use this pesto recipe every summer with my fresh basil. It freezes well.
