I will have to try your recipe. My kids gobble down a dish that I make with pesto in it. Chicken with bow tie pasta and diced tomatoes and pesto. Yum!! It will be cheaper if I make it myself!

I add a little parmesan in mine if I have it, and either use it over chicken, pasta, or shrimp/salmon. It is absolutely delicious in summer with seafood or shellfish. Very light and simple. Of course, living on the coast we get cheap fresh seafood, so it's easier to make a $5 dinner from seafood down here :) Even my 19 month old loves pesto!

I primarily freeze in small amounts to add to soup, pizza, etc. later in the year. For that I use a muffin tin. Put muffin liners in the tin and a couple of spoons of pesto. After it's frozen take the pesto and paper liners out and freeze in a freezer bag or container. Take out as many (or few) as you need later. I notice you didn't add parmesan cheese. Is there a particular reason? Cheaper? Or do you add later? I freeze pesto as well. I primarily freeze in small amounts to add to soup, pizza, etc. later in the year. For that I use a muffin tin.
