Does pesto made with nuts or have nuts in it?

Question

If so what kind of nuts? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Pine nuts are traditional. But if you don't like them, go right ahead and leave them out! I've made pesto without pine nuts for a nut-allergic friend and we all enjoyed it. In fact I don't think anyone would have noticed the difference if I hadn't mentioned it.

Answer 2

i prefer walnuts

Answer 3

traditionally pine nuts but everyone uses their favorite. I personally like mine without. I usually make spinach pesto.

Answer 4

pine nuts

Answer 5

A lot of pestos have chopped or whole pine nuts. Some have almonds, walnuts, or pecans. I prefer pesto without, but most store boughts have some type of nuts in them.

If you are making it home made, any type of nut will do.

Answer 6

Answer 7
