  I make this with half the salt and then freeze it in ice cube trays. One cube is 1/3 of a serving, and it is plenty for my DH and me on either rice or pasta (so I only have to put .16 serving into my food tracker when I use a cube of pesto). - 8/18/10

  Re: Salt - there was a typo. It was meant to be 1tsp not 1Tbsp. I discovered this in the "recipe makeover" function when I was trying to reduce the salt myself. Turns out the recipe was just transcribed incorrectly. - 6/11/12

  I made this to put on the Garden Tomato and Basil Pesto Pizza recipe found on this website. It was very good and I plan to make it again soon. However, it was way too salty for my taste, (and I usually salt everything) so I will probably cut the salt out altogether. Other than that--delicious! - 7/12/07

  Way too much salt! Try 1 tsp to start before adding more. - 8/13/11

  I made it using my fresh garden Arugula. Didn't have pine nuts so used pistachios I had on hand instead. also half the salt. Delicious - 1/20/11

  Sounds very tasty but I would leave out the salt. Cheese has enough salt in it already. - 8/13/10

  This was overwhelming on 8 oz of pasta but was perfect on 24 ounces of cooked pasta. It was very salty. - 3/14/10

  I have made this before in big batches without the cheese and nuts--then I freeze it in icecube trays and bag the cubes in the freezer. During the winter I add the cheese and nuts to as many cubes as I need. - 5/28/09

  I cut the salt out right from the beginning due to high blood pressure but it was still just as tasty. - 11/24/08

  I love pesto and usually spend $7+ on a small container. It will be great to be able to make it fresh! - 5/28/08

  I left out the salt. It was good and toasting the pine nuts first made it better. - 11/24/07

  The consistency was too thick, so I had to add more olive oil-around 1/2 cup in total. I also toasted the pine nuts as my dad always used to do it. I would also recommend crushing the garlic unless your food processor is WAY better than mine, because there were still lumps of garlic in the pesto. - 10/24/07
