Reviews
i only made the pesto to put over gnocchi. it was great, a little oily, but good. the roasted garlic is fabulous in it. i also added some pine nuts as their traditional in pesto and this recipe did not call for any.
I made enough for 6 people. Three of them children who loved it. I did use store bought pesto though as I wasn’t about to lug out the big ol’ cuisinart to make my own;o) Good stuff! God bless.
