Notes
This recipe makes a large batch of pesto. Divide it into smaller portions and freeze for up to 3 months!
Keep in mind that pesto contains pine nuts, another top allergen. If your baby hasn’t been introduced to those before, make sure you aren’t using this recipe for your baby's first wheat exposure, because you should only introduce one new top allergen at a time.
