Amazing. Absolutely yummy! Had it over baked salmon and we devoured it! We are using the balance over pasta tomorrow with the balance of the flaked salmon. Healthy and tasty...go figure.

This was a very tasty, easy sauce to make. I followed other suggestions here and thickened the sauce with a rue of melted butter and flour. I also used half and half instead of light cream simply because I didn't have the cream on hand. Very similar in flavor to Maggiano's Basil Cream Sauce that they serve over ravioli in their restaurants. I'll be honest and say that next time I believe I will roast the garlic cloves before adding them to the basil since the raw garlic flavor was a bit overpowering at first. My family loves fresh grated parmesan cheese so I added extra to the sauce and then grated some over top of our ravs. I could see serving this to guests with pan seared chicken and pasta.

Not an especially impressive sauce. Good because it's quick and easy, but you may as well buy some pesto.

Fabulous!! This recipe was exactly what i have been searching for. Flavorful, creamy, and fresh!!! I substituted almonds instead of using the pine nuts. This is wonderful over chicken, pasta and even rice.

Yum!! Fast and so easy! I used fat free milk instead of cream that I thickened with corn starch in the microwave! Next time I will add a dash of red pepper flakes. I will be making this again and again. Perfect for company-just add shrimp or chicken, top with fresh diced tomatoes, chopped basil and a bit of fresh parmesan! Like I said...Yum!!!

Yum! Oh my goodness, soo delicious! I used almonds instead of pine nuts and half and half instead of cream. I mixed the remaining half of the liquid in the pan with a bit of flour and cream cheese to thicken it up. I also added another garlic clove, a few dashes of onion salt, pepper, oregano, and dash of sugar. I divided the recipe in half and still had plenty for 5 or 6 servings, due to the fact that I kept adding milk and half and half in an attempt to thin it out a bit. . . still very thick. I served it with basil garlic shrimp over spinach pasta from this site. This is one of those meals that makes me wonder why I even bother going out to eat. . . it doesn't get better than this! Try it! Thanks for an amazing recipe! :)
