Outstanding! I halved the recipe and used 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder (= 1 clove garlic). I didn't change anything else in the recipe. On its own, the pesto seemed a little too salty, but it's perfect as a condiment. I used 2 tablespoons of this pesto over 2 oz spaghetti and sprinkled with a teaspoon of grated parmesan cheese for a wonderful dinner. Thanks Tish! -
SO DELICIOUS! Such a wonderful fresh flavour! Ive been putting it on anything and everything that could do with a little bit of zing. Added some to fresh ricotta and used that on sandwiches, in soups, on boiled eggs. YUM! -
I marinated some veggies in this then roasted them for 40 minutes at 475, and they turned out great! I added some fresh rosemary, too. -
Wow, this is simple, healthy, quick, easy and delicious. I've been eating it straight out of the blender but plan to use it on whole wheat toast. Thanks for posting. -
This is tasty mixed into potato soup.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
