Pesto Sauce

[Guest guest]

YUM_ I love pesto... this is just about how I make it, and it is enough for

one batch of pasta ( 16 ounces).. i normally add a litle cooking liquid to

it to make it strech over the pasta better...

 

if that helps anyone

Pesto Sauce

 

 

My cousin gave me this recipe. I have no idea how many servings it makes.

Definitely not low fat, but oh so delicious. A little goes a long way

though - you can probably just use a teaspoon or two per serving.
