Pesto is so versatile and so easy to make! You can throw it over gluten-free pasta, spread it on a pizza or give your eggs a kick. And as easy as it is to make - it’s even easier to store. Transfer pesto to a mason jar, top with thin layer of olive oil, cover, and refrigerate.

love pesto, but I’ve gotta find a way to make it that is a bit easier on my stomach. I can’t handle all of the oil! Know of any good subs?

Yes, you can use lemon juice and vegetable broth as subs.
