Pesto Presto

where did they get the loose basil leaves? including tearing the leaves off the plants, this took 2.5 hours, not 10 minutes. too much effort for the result.

The quickie version. i give it four stars cuz of the ease! Very quick staple for summer drop-ins! And save yourself a couple more steps in the freezing process: fill quart ziplocs, press pesto flat, zip n freeze. Then just break chunks off as needed for tossing with pasta, dropping into soup, stir fries, whatever! No fiddling around with ice cube trays necessary.

My son loves pesto with pasta so this receipe was a hit. It is also very good mixed with sour cream for a dip.

Pesto can be hard to find in an affordable and large container so this is absolutely perfect! Tastes great and I love the fact that I can keep it at the ready by storing it as cubes in the freezer.

This was great! I will make this all the time to have on hand!

very nice. I would only add some garlic and some sundried tomato

This is a huge hit with my family. We toss it with buttered noodles(wide).

It so simple and delicious

It's so easy! I have a cuisinart and it chopped everything and mixed it up very well! I did add 1/2 c toasted pine nuts, 1 clove garlic, and 1/4 c parsley, plus salt and pepper to taste. I love Italian dressing so the vinegar taste is new and different in this pesto compared to others I've made with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I doubled this recipe and ended up with 1 1/2 ice cube trays of pesto.

This is very good. It was so simple to make. I added this to pasta with grilled chicken. Delicious!
