Wow...that's all I can say. I don't believe i've ever had fresh basil pesto before (fresh as in I picked the basil less than an hour before the pesto was done). The recipe is very simple & it tastes excellent...like gourmet good. Anyone else make pesto with theirs?

That's pretty funny. I am eating last night's papardelle with chicken in pesto sauce as I am scanning GW. I added some heavy cream to my usual pesto recipe and it made it even better. Now I have to go swim off the heavy cream!

It is so easy I make it once a week in the summer!
