It was great, the whole family loved it
easy & quick. If basil is not plentiful this is a great alternative and I bet most would not even notice the kale (over just traditional basil). We used almonds when I found no pine nuts in the pantry-Again, did not taste a difference from traditional pesto. Delicious.We added tomatoes and rigatoni.
