    This sounds really good. I've never made my own pesto. Do you think I could make it with my Braun hand blender?

      I've never made it in a hand blender. A food processor, blender, even a single serve blender will work. You want to make it pretty pulverized because the nuts needs to be broken down.

    I love pesto sauce. It's easy to make and so flavorful. And Homemade definitely makes a huge difference. This one with sausage sounds interesting. 🙂

    Your pesto pasta sausage sounds quite tempting. My basil plant has grown to gigantic proportions and it's time to make some fresh pesto 🙂
