Preparation

Chef’s notes

You can swap in different greens or herbs such as baby arugula, spinach, parsley, cilantro, etc.
Swap in different nuts like walnuts, pecans, almonds, pepitas, or any other favorite nut.
For vegan pesto, replace Parmesan with 3-5 tablespoons of nutritional yeast.
Add some heat with a few pinches of crushed red pepper flakes.
