Mmmm, Pesto! I was blessed by my friend with a bag full of fresh basil. I made basil pesto. I followed the recipe in my Betty Crocker Cookbook. I didn't have pine nuts so I used filberts (hazelnuts) and walnuts.
I made two batches and each batch made 3 half cup portions. I put them in the freezer to throw over pasta or to make pesto pizza later!
Update: Today I tossed some zucchini noodles with some of the pesto and some shredded chicken. It was delicious. To cook the zucchini noodles I threw a little grapeseed oil in a skillet and lightly sauteed the zucchini, added some pesto and the shredded chicken until everything was warm and then served it for lunch. I like my zucchini tender so I barely cooked it.
