Toasted pine nuts, Meyer lemon olive oil, and fresh sweet basil make this lemon pesto<\/strong> the absolute best thing to cross your lips. It is rich and nutty, with a brightness and zest from the addition of lemon<\/em> while maintaining the vibrant and aromatic characteristics that we love in a traditional basil pesto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pesto is a traditional Italian sauce that is known for its vibrant green color and fresh, herbaceous flavor. It originated in the Liguria region of Italy and is typically made using a mortar and pestle, although modern versions often use a food processor or blender for convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pesto can be made in a number of different ways with different ingredients. Some recipes use walnuts or almonds, spinach, or alternate cheese. This basil pesto recipe follows traditional pesto recipes with its pine nuts, garlic, parmesan cheese, basil, and olive oil. However, I think it gets a serious upgrade with the addition of the toasted goodness of pine nuts and the vibrant lemon flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This bright pesto is such a versatile sauce – it goes with pasta dishes, chicken breasts and seafood, garlic bread, and flatbread pizza. After you taste this recipe, you’ll discover it is irresistible even right off the spoon. We especially love eating this lemon-infused pesto over grilled trout<\/a>, as a pizza sauce for grilled pizza, or tossed with tomato or blueberry caprese salads<\/a>. Tossing a spoonful into Pesto pasta salad<\/a> or pesto zucchini noodles is one of my favorite ways to use this easy recipe. The lemony notes of the pesto compliment almost any pasta dish or fresh summer salad.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n
