A friend brought me a bunch of basil from her garden, so I decided to try making pesto (for the first time!). The only thing I did differently was to use a combination of pine nuts and sunflower seeds, as I didn't have any walnuts on hand. I will use walnuts next time, because I love their flavor. I didn't measure but kind of "eyeballed" amounts, too. My pesto turned out GREAT! I can't wait to follow the lead of another reviewer to spread it over chicken breasts with sliced tomatoes and mozzarella and bake. Yum! Thanks for the wonderful pesto recipe!

Wow! This was incredible! We are saying goodbye to our favorite Chinese restaurant, because now we can make our favorite dish at home for MUCH less money! Thank you SO much for the recipe!

If your mixture seems much too dry, as mine did, add buttermilk to the mixture until it sticks together. We did that with this recipe, and it was the best batch we've ever made!
