JOAN'S PESTO
The difference between good pesto and great pesto is always using the highest quality ingredients u0026ndash; especially the olive oil and Parmesan cheese. Make sure basil is well coated with lemon juice and olive oil or the basil sprigs will turn black. Try drizzling on a little olive oil on the surface of the pesto to create an air barrier, if you won't be serving immediately.
