Comments: Way too salty! I should have added half the amount of salt. I think this is because the Parmesan cheese is salty in itself. Of course the saltiness might be mitigated by pasta. I haven't tried the pesto on pasta yet so we'll see. Super easy and fast to make though. Will do again for sure. May do less oil next time...a cup is quite a bit to say the least.
