Tips:

- Use a good quality olive oil. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the pesto.
- Taste the pesto and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic, depending on your taste.
- Pesto can be used in a variety of ways. Toss it with pasta, spread it on sandwiches, or use it as a dip for vegetables.
