I have never tried it but plan to. I have a ton of basil to use to make some. So anyone out there like/dislike it?

It's really good. There is a place downtown that makes a really good bagel with pesto on it. Thanks for the idea. I may go there for lunch tomorrow. Too bad they're not open or i'd go there tonight. Now you've made me hungry for pesto. you should try it.

i love pesto. I have 2 pots of basil growing in my patio so I always make my own. I make variations all the time, sometimes I use pine nuts with it, sometimes I use almonds. I also have some parsley, sage, rosemary and mint so I never get tored of experimenting with these herbes to make pesto. my most favorite dish with pesto is when I mixed it with alfredo sauce and shrimp then top it over pasta. Sometimes, I use pesto in sandwiches, or with grilled chicken. There are just tons of things I used it with because, I dont wanna waste my basil. There is always a jar of pesto in my fridge.

I only like the homemade pesto, not the store bought kind. My grandma used to make it alot when I was a kid and sure miss it now that she's gone. Noone ever got the recipe from her either.

I am a very big fan of pesto, with pine nuts or walnuts or even just with olive oil and grated romano. We also use a lot of our home-grown basil on garlic bread, in spaghetti sauce and on pizza, especially the whole grain pizza with alfredo sauce instead of tomato.

I am a big fan of pesto. I love pasta with pesto sauce like the chicken al pesto pasta, tuna al pesto, and the creamy basin in pesto sauce. It is very mouth watering for me. I can't resist from eating pesto sauce. I always crave for it whenever I feel stress (I think it relaxes my mind), and whenever I think about pesto... hmmmp.. I'll definitely cook some pesto.
