Great base recipe and very flexible. I made it in my Cuisinart instead of the blender and tossed most of the ingredients in at once instead of gradually. I omitted the chili powder and used extra pine nuts (which I toasted first) in place of Brazil's. I also used Grana Padano cheese instead of Parmesan, which has a bit more nuttiness. All together it was really yummy! Am serving it over cheese tortellini.
