The perfect pesto. I did add some salt and pepper. Thanks, Moody.

I've tried this one before (from Diana Shaw's cookbook), it's yummy. I must have signed that cookbook out of the library four times already. It's a great book. Thanks for sharing.

I'm not rating, as I used this recipe as a "jumping off" point, but then pretty much did my own thing. I thought I had 2 cups of basil, but turns out when I packed it, there really was only about 1 1/2 cups. And I used 4 really big cloves of garlic. And increased the pine nuts, olive oil and parmesan to 1/4 cup each. And then added a tablespoon of lemon juice, too. So, it really wasn't this recipe in the end, but it was yummy.

This recipe was very easy to make, but it was dry and tasteless.
