We all love this pesto! Your gnocchi recipe which contains this pesto is divine. We also love to eat this pesto spread on a baguette! So good.
Rene
You can never go wrong with pesto - so glad you like it 🙂
Susan
Wonderful recipe. Just in time to use some of my end of summer basil bounty! I lightened up on the oil, but just so that I could add some pistachios. Otherwise I followed your instructions and was pleasantly surprised. Can't wait to try it with garden grown fingerling potatoes!
Emily
Do I add all of the oil from the sun dried tomatoes jar into it or leave that out?
Rene
Yep! This will keep you from having to add any additional oil.
Amy L O'Connor
I can no longer eat garlic which makes al ot of recipes difficult. I can safley digest garlic infused oil; could I put some of that in for the flavor?
Thanks!
Rene
Totally!
Sonny
Can this pesto sauce be frozen?
Rene
Sure! Just throw it into a freezer-safe container.

This was probably the tastiest thing in the world. Definitely my new favourite form of pesto.

Mine turned out tasting too much like lemon. Bitter...
