In reply to Laurie L. yes (apologies for my late replies), the pesto will freeze great.

Hi! I made the pesto exactly as written, except I used blanched, sliced almonds in lieu of the pepitas in order to increase the amount of calcium in this dish. I used 2.5 tablespoons of lemon juice, which I reject because it turned out was too lemony and way too thin. Hence, it’s more like a broccoli-lemon sauce. So, I’ll have to add more basil and a tablespoon of nutrition yeast to improve it and turn it into a pesto.
That said, take care.

Hi! Just wondering: does this broccoli pesto freeze okay? I assume it does, but please confirm.
Thanks in advance as I have a big bag of broccoli to use up soon.

First I want to congratulate you for finishing your book! Then to share that I am absolutely in love with this recipe, but I think I will add some feta cheese in the pesto, because my whole family are huge cheese fans :). Great work and I am hoping that you are having an awesome time after your accomplishment with the book.

This is my go-to on a lazy dinner night. Annie’s Mac… dressed up. I roasted some asparagus the other night and threw it in there. Total win.
