Thank you! I've been looking for a decent pesto recipe. I grew a ton of basil this year and this is delishus with my foccacia bread recipe.
This is a good recipe. I normally substitute a different nut for the pine nuts. In my area pine nuts cost roughly $2.15/oz and I don't use them in many of my other recipes. Pecans work well and are almost .60/oz less expensive. Walnuts are alright but they tend to have a 'dry' flavor that doesn't work well.

Originally an Italian Lemon Liqueur produced in Southern Italy, Limoncello is a smooth, vibrant flavored liquor that is great for gift giving and an occasional treat. The best part, you don't have to travel to Italy to enjoy the flavor, you can make it at home with this easy recipe . . .
