Easy and Fresh Creamy Pesto Recipe
This creamy pesto recipe tastes amazing with fresh bread or on my Pesto Party Pizza. I hope you take advantage of the print option feature on the recipe below. There are also a few links at the bottom of this post featuring the creamy pesto recipe.
You will need FRESH BASIL for this recipe. There is no reason you can’t grow your own pesto year-round. Please see my growing tips featured on my website.
- Fresh basil leaves
- Fresh parsley leaves
- Parmesan cheese

In this recipe, I use walnuts because it is what I have on hand almost year-round. You can use Pine Nuts for this recipe but they can be expensive and hard to find.

My favorite noodle right now is egg noodles. I can’t stop!
I love that you include cream in your pesto. Must make it extra rich. Wonder, have you tried adding pine nuts to this recipe? LOVE those!
This sounds amazing … will have to try with the egg noodle.
Pesto! My favorite ingredient mainly for pasta! Never prepared pesto this way Something new is worth a try. Thanks for the idea! Well done
Darn when I tap each place it says printable recipe but it takes me back to this same page. Not sure what your site is or how to get there but the pesto looks really good.
I am sorry for the confusion. Let me make the link a little more clear. I hope you try it and tell me what you think at a later time.
Thanks for sharing this pesto recipe. We seem to have enough basil to make a few batches of your recipe. I hope to freeze some of the prepared pesto to use later in the year.
