hello there and thanks for your information ? I’ve definitely picked up something new from proper here.

I saw some of the comments above – would it work to replace these with a different kind of nut or seed? I adore pine nuts, but they have gotten incredibly expensive where I live and I can’t justify the cost when trying to stick to my grocery budget.
Would it work to use a blender if I don’t have a food processor? I will hopefully be getting one soon, but for now I’m having to improvise. I was also wondering the same thing about the recipe for graham crackers. Thanks, Catherine, for all your wonderful recipes!
I got a recipe for pesto using collard greens and my daughter loves it! I don’t use nuts – just olive oil, parmesan cheese, and a little garlic and onion if i’m feeling frisky.
I just saw this post and bought some fresh basil leaves the other day. I’ve made parsely pesto in the past and it’s just as delicious if you can’t get a hold of basil.
I usually by this in a jar, but I just made this with my toddler. Tastes so good and fresh. I’m excited to eat it tonight — something the whole family can eat together.
I just saw this recipe and instantly had to make it (for my son’s dinner, yes, but also a big bowl of pasta for my lunch!) We were out of pine nuts so I substituted cashews – it worked well. Very yummy!
I love pesto! Anyone have ideas for a nut-free pesto? My little girl has a nut allergy. I know the nuts are for flavor, but how much texture does it add? Should I just add more parm cheese??
At my son’s school they just do not use the pine nuts and the kids still love it. The other alternative would be using some pumpkin seeds instead of the pine nuts. It is a different flavor, but good.
