“excellent!! I made a vegan version of this with nutritional yeast (to replace parmesan), and a little more lemon juice(for my taste). This is sooo versatile, on crackers, with pasta, an also for a less rich pasta sauce, add tomato sauce and make it creamy wi” — a cook, 5.0★
“Best pesto I’ve EVER tasted!!!! I cannot thank you enough! I won’t buy another jar of pesto again as this was super quick and easy to make. Make this as written if possible; you won’t regret it.” — a cook, 5.0★
