What are other ways to make pesto?

Question

besides basil/parm/pine nuts? what other combinations are good?

Answer 1

You can add any other herb besides basil. Which ever herbs you like will work. It's really really really up to your taste. Add  your favorite herbs. Use walnuts instead of pine nuts. they are easier to find and cheaper but microwave them first for about  a minute to release there oils.

Answer 2

Use olive oil, basil, garlic and walnuts:

If you substitute walnuts for the pine nuts (place them on a dinner plate and microwave them for 1:30 min to get them to release their oils), the pesto ends up with a fuller flavor and they cost less/ are much easier to find than pine nuts!
