My review
Pesto Sauce
Sue Jurack
"I like to serve the pesto over butter gnocchi with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Gnocchi are light little Italian potato dumplings, which are available in Italian grocery stores and cook up in mere minutes. The pesto is also delicious tossed with penne or other types of pasta. --Sue A. Jurack"

- Editor's Note: When freezing the pesto, I leave about 3/4 inch in the top of the container, then cover the top with a thin layer of olive oil, so the pesto doesn't brown during freezing.

Good, but not the definitive pesto recipe. I used one cup basil, 1/2 cup olive oil and zero salt. Good call from previous reviewers about skipping the salt. It was really salty without the ex...

another great way of storing this is to freeze in ice cube trays. Then pop out into a ziploc. Then all you have to do is grab a cube!

Excellent recipe!! I took another users suggestion and only added 1/4 tsp salt because I figured I could always add later and didn't need to! My husband is a picky eater and liked this as well...
