If you haven't tried this Ina Garten pesto, you haven't lived.

Okay, that may be a bit dramatic, but it's not too far off the mark. Just trust me and make it asap!

I’ve made plenty of pesto recipes and tried various store-bought jars over the years.

And I can unequivocally say that Ina Garten's pesto is some of the best and freshest.

It has a wonderfully nutty-basil flavor with just a hint of cheesy goodness from the Parmesan.

Better yet, it's easy to make and sure to liven up any dish.

But don't take my word for it. Head to the kitchen and try it for yourself.

Most pesto recipes call for a blend of Parmesan, garlic, pine nuts, salt, basil, and olive oil.

It's pretty simple to whip up at home and goes terrifically well on pasta, bread, chicken, and more.

Unfortunately, pine nuts are kind of expensive.

That's why I love this pine nut and walnut pesto sauce! It's still nutty with that classic crunchy texture, but the walnuts save you a few bucks.

Thanks, Ina!

You have two options for storing pesto: the fridge or the freezer.

With either storage method, discard any leftovers after the suggested times. If the pesto's smell or texture changes, discard it immediately.
