Awesome video, Olivia! I like that your pesto is nut free. I'll have to dig out my immersion blender!

Thank you Lauren! Such an easy staple recipe to have on hand. Keeps for weeks too!

Waaaay too much olive oil in that sauce! I make pesto at least once a week with the basil from my garden. Wouldn't dream of making it without the nuts.But its really a personal preference.

I'm with Lisa. Way too much olive oil. I've also got a nice crop of basil in the garden. If there is any left in the fall, I make a big batch of pesto and freeze it.

My pesto: 1 c. basil, 1/3 c. each parmesan, olive oil, and walnuts or pine nuts, 1 clove garlic, a little salt. Whirl in a food processor. I usually triple the recipe. Yum!

I'm sicilian. I don't measure anything! :)

Thanks for sharing the recipe mtc parent. This video recipe by Chef Olivia is a great example of how you can digitize your recipes.

Hey everyone! Great comments!! That's what makes us all unique cooks! I like to use more olive oil in many of my sauces and dishes. More olive oil means less of everything else, like a lot of cheese or other high calorie ingredients. EVOO has plenty of calories and fat, but the good kind for a healthy heart and diet. Much a part of my French/Mediterranean cooking and background and more I hope to share! :)

Fabulous!!! Are you making more videos?! What a great idea!!! Congrats!!! Oh, how do I subscribe to see more??

I sometimes cut the olive oil with skim milk. I use Skim Plus because it is really creamy. It is more of a creamy sauce but cuts down on the calories. You can also saute the garlic in a little of the olive oil beforehand, if you want to tone down the garlic flavor. I, personally, do not. ;-)

Someone kick the "Coach" spammer...
