Nutrition & Calorie Comments  

Just made this pesto, it makes 8 servings exactly. I spread the pesto in an ice tray, each cube is 2 tbsp. After they freeze I individually wrap them in foil and put them in a freezer bag for future use. 1 tbsp of salt is WAY too much; I used 1 tsp of kosher salt instead. Great recipe overall!

I would use less salt next time, but loved the fact that this recipe uses much less olive oil than my old recipe. I just love summer and now I have a whole row of basil in my garden to use! Submitted by:

We made this last night and it came out wonderfully. We didn't have almonds so we used pine nuts, and instead of grated parmesan my husband used shredded, which probably made it thicker than usual. I like how this recipe has fewer calories and larger servings than other recipes I've tried. Submitted by:
