Homemade pesto is easier than you may think! In the summer, I have an abundance of basil and this is one of my favorite ways of using it. Pesto is great on pasta, pizza, bread, and so much more! Please note that pesto is always made to taste, based on the ingredients on hand. So, be sure to adjust the ingredients to your taste.
