For a richer flavor, try using toasted pine nuts instead of almonds. Store leftover pesto in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage. To prevent browning, drizzle a thin layer of olive oil over the top before refrigerating or freezing. Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference. For a milder flavor, use only 2 cloves.
