Perk up gnocchi and vegetables with a flavorful pesto sauce. If you dont have pine nuts for the pesto, substitute any nut you like. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Very plain. Needs more flavor.

Sounds like a quick meal to make when you havent got much time. Think Ill add some mushrooms to it though. Thank you AuntieA1955 for the basil recipe. Ive never tried roasted garlic before. Will do some pine nuts and sunflower seeds in a pestle and mortar, then add the garlic, grated cheese, chopped basil, oil and lemon juice. Blenders are alright if you really need them. But you can make this just as easily by hand, without all that washing up.

This is a great way to use up the pesto I made from the summer's extra basil! Easy and delicious.

I would like to share my prep for home made pesto if you are like me and like the fresh taste. Oven roast whole bulb of garlic by slicing off top portion of head, drizzle w/ olive oil, wrap in foil. Roast in 400 oven, 10-15 min. Meanwhile in blender or preferably Vita-Mix, add Basil leafs and olive oil. Blend in small batches as much as you need or do several and freeze in batches in a size that you'll use in a week time. Add only enough oil to keep the blender action moving, don't worry about it tho! Dry chop pine or walnuts. Pine nuts have gotten really pricey! Add to basil and oil mix along with your prefered amount of parm. cheese and cooled roasted garlic. Store in fridge up to one week, stir before use. Don't add chhese while blending, oil get's too warm. Roasting garlic gives a wonderful sweet flavor! This is also nice in grilled cheese.

Great taste and easy to make

Easy, delicious, pretty and good for you. My 6-year-old had seconds! Delicious and a keeper.

This recipes was DELICIOUS (not to mention quite economical for 4 people)! And so simple! I substituted broccoli flowerets for the zucchini because that is what I had on hand, and it was fabulous. And very pretty - perfect for dinner parties or fancy entertaining. A keeper for sure. I will be making this recipe again.

This recipe was great, but i altered it a bit to give it a bit more kick. Instead of the yellow pepper, I added a red pepper as well as a medium onion chopped, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 tsp italian seasoning, and 1 tsp vegetable spice. I will definitely make this one again.
