You’re right. I accidentally only added 1 and it seemed about right

I freeze pesto by putting it in an ice cube tray, then putting the tray in the freezer. When frozen, i pop out the pesto “cubes” and store them in the freezer in an appropriate container. 1 or 2 cubes is a serving, depending on taste.

I also used fresh basil from my garden, but two tablespoons of lemon juice made this version of pesto too tart for me. I omitted the pine nuts, but added an additional 1/4 cup Parmesan (1/2 cup total) to try to tame the acidity.. It helped, but it’s still too tart, at least for me.

Using fresh basil and garlic from my garden, this pesto is stunningly good.
I wouldn’t change a thing.

I made it. Easy. Makes a cup and it went right into tonight’s dinner of creamy chicken and pesto pasta. Can’t wait for my basil plant to give another batch.
