This recipe can easily be scaled up multiple times, especially at the end of the summer when there is an abundance of basil. Extra pesto stores easily in the freezer in small containers or zip-lock bags. Freezing in ice cube trays is another option. Approximately 7 tablespoons of pesto is needed to make about 3/4 cup of pesto later when 1/3 cup of grated Parmesan cheese is added. 3/4 cup of pesto is what is needed for the Shrimp or Scallops Pasta and Pesto recipe.
