    Oh please don't be embarressed:bigsmile:

    I didn't know myself until a few monthes back when I tried in on a turkey/swiss sandwich.

    Here's a link so you can see what all goes into pesto... basically it's made with fresh basil (but there are other pesto's besides basil ones..it's just more commonly known is all) and pinenuts...

    This link I found is a pretty cool one actually you might just find yourself whippin up some basil pesto after reading through it with all the great pics:drinker:

    but its 2 servings. you could sub in light mayo, and use light becel instead of butter. it's not bad as far as entrees go.

    I inputted all the ingredients into the recipe builder on Sparkpeople.com and it came out to 439.5 cals per serving. That was with generic ingredients. Everything can be substituted for lite or lo-cal.
