Can I use store-bought pesto?
works but if you have the time, homemade pesto is insanely delicious!
Is homemade pesto healthier than store-bought?
While it is rather high in calories and fat because of the olive oil and pine nuts, pesto is packed with nutrients that many other sauces lack. Ingredients include olive oil, pine nuts, fresh basil, garlic and Parmesan cheese. Store bought versions tend to use canola oil, with much higher level of salt and preservatives.
