I'm not sure about this recipe. It seems like there are too many ingredients.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the pecans for sunflower seeds. It was still delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce didn't turn out as creamy as the picture. What did I do wrong?

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less olive oil.

I'm not a big fan of pesto, but this recipe changed my mind. The parsley and pecans give it a unique flavor that I really enjoyed. I'll definitely be making this again.
