Tried it with parsley, don't like that either... still a waste of good
pine nuts. For me delicately flavored pine nuts are for topping
Italian cookies, not for punishing by smushing them with powerfully
flavored ingredients... with basil, parmesan, and garlic no one can
taste pinenuts... pesto is the ultimate TIAD recipe.
