endless possibilities with pesto, the kids like it with pasta, I like it on an Italian sub, Rob puts it on everything! And on vacation we had a pizza with pesto instead of red sauce...going to try that the next time we make pizza. My first batch of basil that i planted in the garden didn't quite make it....so i am off to the garden center to buy more plants. Once the plants get big I usually make a batch of pesto once a week all summer and freeze it.
