This recipe is fast and easy. No baking required to have pesto with full flavor. This recipe is also very flexible. A bit more or less of the cheese, basil, nuts or lemon juice won't ruin the recipe, you may find you like it more. I do recommend you keep the ingredients higher quality. Fresh basil is a must and you'll notice the difference between good or bad olive oil.
