Made last night to use some basil in my garden. Very easy. I sautéed the garlic instead of using raw. Buttered the noodles too. This was a super light dish.

I love pesto, because it’s so quick to make, yet so delicious. Most quick meals are just okay. Basil pesto pasta is god tier tho

this was actually easy, I recommend crushing the pine nuts with a spoon in a bowl or something before mixing as blender didn't really catch them

So tasty use for many things. Take for lunch with penne heat up if desired. So filling get through the day. My kids loved it cold.

How well does it keep? I started growing basil but it's already outgrowing my use of it, I could use some pesto in storage.

If I make this for future recipes, etc. How long does it last in the fridge?

I haven't seen anyone using lemon 🍋 before in a pesto

[claranimmer]

The recipe is good, but it‘s really better to use mortar and pestle.

Too much EVOO! I use just 3 tablespoons per batch.

Only thing I do with basil pesto is stick it in the bin.
