Expert Tips

  • You can make the pesto aioli up to a day in advance.
  • Experiment with different herbs and nuts, such as cilantro and cashews, or arugula and walnuts.
  • To toast pine nuts, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until nuts begin to brown, then stirring constantly until nuts are light brown.
