Notes:
- Pesto (without the cheese) freezes well! - Pesto turns dark when exposed to the air. That's ok! It's still delicious. If you don't like this look, use less olive oil in the recipe and pour the remaining amount on top. It will act like an awesome olive oil force field. - This recipe spices up pretty much anything! ...pizza, pasta, meat, egg white omelets, hummus, sandwiches, etc.!
