Jackie Marshall on 2024-07-10 (5 stars): Yes, I think I'll go straight to the processor next time. But I will make it next time!
Bernimck on 2024-01-19 (5 stars): This pesto was better than basil for me. I made it and put it on baked chicken breasts, well in and on chicken breasts. It has to be bone-in and skin on. It was amazing! I wasn’t a pesto lover until now.
I actually didn’t realize until I tasted it that I’ve had it before at a dinner. Brighter, lighter and perfect for adding flavor to all the things listed here. Thanks for sharing!
