Toasting the pine nuts enhances their flavor and adds a subtle nutty note to the pesto.
For a creamier pesto, try adding a tablespoon or two of heavy cream or ricotta cheese.
If you don't have pine nuts, walnuts or almonds can be used as a substitute.

    I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. Freezing it in small portions is a great tip for enjoying fresh pesto year-round.
