Don't sweat the nuts! I made it for years without any nuts. Just do the
olive oil, basil, lemon, cheese, garlic, salt, pepper all to your liking.
what's left over I've put into small plastic bags for 1-2 servings, roll
tightly and freeze. It freezes wonderfully for use at a later time.

Want some and don't have much basil, use parsley. In fact all parsley is how
I made pesto decades ago because I didn't have any basil and found a recipe
that said to use parsley and it had no nuts in it.

It's a pretty forgiving concoction . . .
