For the best flavor, use the freshest basil you can find. Avoid basil with dark spots or wilted leaves. To toast the pine nuts, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Watch them carefully, as they can burn easily. Pesto can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To prevent oxidation and browning, drizzle a thin layer of olive oil over the surface before refrigerating. Pesto also freezes well. Portion it into ice cube trays for easy use later.

Aug 4, 2022Easy to follow and delicious. I used walnuts instead of pine nuts since that's what I had on hand, and it still turned out great!

Jan 8, 2022I've made this recipe several times, and it's always a hit. I like to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little kick.
