If you are on a dairy-free diet, this quick pesto sauce is for you! Just add the olive oil & water. My gluten-free, dairy-free son loves this sauce on rice penne pasta. It has a bit of a strong taste, so you can adjust the amount you use -- I personally use 1 envelope per box/bag of pasta (ignoring the instructions to use only 6 oz. of pasta). In my local store, 1 envelope can be $2-3, and not always available, so this is a much better deal (12 packets for $15.51 plus super saver shipping) for a product we use weekly. If you like the Knorr brand (contains dairy), you will probably like this. However, if you are picky about your pesto (use only jarred/fresh, make-your-own) this may disappoint, you should buy just 1 packet to try from your local store before you purchase a bulk item, but it pleases my family.

** If you have corn allergy/intolerance, this product is not for you. One of the ingredients is derived from corn.

This is a very tasty pesto sauce that is very simple to make. We usually follow the simple directions and perhaps add some grated nuts of our choice for texture. Then toss in the pasta. It's handy to have it around the kitchen in dry form. My wife loves the fact that it's organic. I love the fact that it is not overly garlicky. Sometimes when we are out of olive oil, it still tastes great with regular vegetable oil, as well. Definitely a family pleaser in our household.
