STORY BEHIND THE DISH
Pesto has always been one of my favorite pasta sauces, this is a great pesto that stores well in the fridge & can be used for pesto chicken, pasta, & pasta salads.
MODIFICATIONS
Pesto is a pretty straight forward recipe & there is not much that can be modified to keep the integrity of a classic pesto sauce. In this specific recipe you can remove the parsley & still have a fine pesto, but I like the extra touch.
