sure it's a waste of time & money, but ONLY if you insist on using pine nuts and cheese. literally tastes just as good if you use any herb and any nut. made dill pesto with just slivered almonds I toasted and some oil and garlic. using rampion/wild garlic means no botulism too. big fan.

infinitely better than store bought + if you make more of it you can freeze it. just put fresh basil, almonds/cashews, parmesan, olive oil, garlic + salt in a blender for 2 minutes and there you have it! perfect.

noun
pesto made with leftover ingredients ie
- leafy greens (spinach, arugula, wilted basil, parsley)
- nuts (not pine nuts but cashews or walnuts)
not true pesto but its ok in a pinch

And that's okay, because there's a bin of arugula, some questionable pine nuts from last spring, good olive oil, a block of gruyere, and too many lemons. We've got a blender thingy. I've got taste buds. So why not?
Turns out you can throw things into the blender thingy and you've got "free" pesto.
Bless being culinarily competent.
