  1. A nice light flavored pesto. Made as written using walnuts. Served over sliced tomatoes with French bread for a light dinner. Thanks for the post.
     
  2. Delicious! Served it with pasta. Made for Everyday Holiday Tag. :)
     
  3. I love it!:) I made two exchanges. I used raw pumpkin seeds as that is what I had in my kitchen and I picked fresh basil from garden instead of dry. Yum, yum.
     
  4. Loved it. Used walnuts. Substituted 1 Tbsp. veg broth for one of the 3 Tbsp. of olive oil, to lower the fat even more. Still tastes great. Found so many uses besides pasta, e.g., a spread on bagels.
     
  5. I made this today with my homegrown spinach and parsley. It was easy to do and tastes great. Luckily I washed my spinach very well as I found a baby snail amongst the leaves !!!!!!! I have used it in dollops on a pizza for dinner tonight. This makes a generous amount and I will freeze some to put with pasta during the week. Made for Everyday is a Holiday.
