I got this recipe from my brother-in-law - - it is his signature dish. i know he got the original recipe from a cookbook, but i do not know the name of the book. the pesto has an intense green color and a pleasingly bold flavor. serve over thin to regular spaghetti noodles. also, this pesto freezes very well.
