I have never had a storebought pesto I thought was as good as a homemade. Yes, even the costoc one that some people praise! Here are two ways you can keep making pesto more affordable. First, you can substitute half of the basil for spinach. Second, you can swap out walntus for pine nuts. Both of these changes aren’t even too noticeable. I love a pesto, and my favorite way to enjoy it is on a pasta with lots of lemon!
