Tips
*I don't care for Classico pesto sauce, mostly because it contains no nuts. Most pesto sauce brands contain pinenutsĀ or enough Parmesan cheese. However, Classico makes a good start. I stir in some superfine almond flour and additional Parmesan cheese. Alternatively, you can add some sauce to a food processor. Then add almonds or pine nuts and Parmesan and process until pureed. Continue to add a little of each until it reaches your desired flavor. Add additional olive oil as desired. I enjoy the flavor of almonds more than pine nuts. You add whatever you wish.
