Container Mixup
I decided to make this because my friend grows lots of basil. Like others, I accidentally tried this recipe with the 64-oz low-profile container. It was not as good as it would have been if I would have used a mortar and pestle. The stuff stuck to the bottom under the blades and too the sides. Even though this happened, when I got it out of the mixer, I just chopped at it in the bowl with my silicone spatula. It got better that way. Between three adults, the entire pound of pasta was gone within 8 hours. That's pretty good. I forgot to take a picture. The basil wasn't as processed as I would have liked, but it was still beautiful. I used Radiatore pasta so that it would absorb all that delicious pesto. Great recipe.

Maybe if you have old style container
In new style shorter 64 oz container the volume is too small. The pesto just sticks to side and the pusher can't clear it. It doesn't blend well at all. Smells great, but can't use it.

Tasty!
This recipe was very good! A little salty so I will use less salt than the recipe calls for next time but otherwise I was very pleased!

Easy peasy
I made this as a half recipe and used pecans instead of walnuts. DELICIOUS! I did add a touch more EVOO and parmigiano. Great way to use basil from the garden and perfect with fresh Meyer lemon juice from the yard. Worked fine in the new style blender container.

Doesn't blend at all ...
As a previous poster noted, the quantity in your recipe just goes to the sides, and it doesn't work. Someone should have tried the recipes before putting on the Vitamix site! Now, someone should remove the recipes that don't work anymore, and replace with some way that does work (if this is even the correct machine to make pesto, which I now highly doubt!).

Tasty but volume too small for 64 oz container
As another review said, the ingredients were thrown to the side. I followed the recipe exactly, including the sequence of adding the ingredients. Has to remove it and blend in a mini food processor. Tastes good but now I have two machines to clean. Wish I read the reviews first.
