It's the second ingredient listed, and as you know, ingredients are listed in descending order by weight. Did I call it, or what?Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-17582152205423341792013-02-21T09:19:11.096+09:002013-02-21T09:19:11.096+09:00Frustrating indeed.

I've always made it with olive oil, pine nuts, garlic, basil, and parmesan.<br /><br />Have you thought of growing your own basil? We've found that basil works very well as an indoor potted plant. We've had varying levels of success with other herbs, but basil grows like a dream. Just keep a few plants on the windowsill, make sure they have enough water (basil can be very thirsty), and you've got fresh basil whenever you need it. Just make sure it doesn't flower (you'll want to nip that in the bud, literally).Charleshttp://www.liminality.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-30416135618929365092013-02-21T02:36:16.598+09:002013-02-21T02:36:16.598+09:00Indeed.

What's frustrating is that the stuff <i>smells</i> like pesto.<br /><br />I should have either (1) waited and gone to Costco to buy a legitimate pesto (I've bought the Costco version before; it's not bad) or (2) bought the ingredients to blitz together some pesto of my own.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-66258346709699416892013-02-21T01:30:53.241+09:002013-02-21T01:30:53.241+09:00Maybe it was pisto.Maybe it was pisto.Elissonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06299361897381169534noreply@blogger.com
