Classic Basil Pesto
"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

Super easy to make. Skipped the garlic and it still tasted great.

I 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.

A 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!
