Mild but flavorful. Easy to use — just stir a couple tablespoons into cooked pasta. Keep refrigerated once opened. Will buy again.

Loved this!! I made just a single serving and plated mine over a bed of arugula. I used a bucatini pasta. By no means am I a great cook, but this inspired me! Based on a couple other reviews I kept some of the pasta water and threw the drained, cooked pasta back in the pot and added about 2 TBLSP of the sauce. I heated up the pan and added in some asparagus tips and grape tomatoes. I topped it with shredded Parmesan, fresh ground black pepper and some fresh lemon zest (the TJ’s cashier said lemon zest will make it even tastier). Wish there was a place in here to add a photo. It came out beautiful.

Love love loved it! I put A chicken breast in the air fryer coated with oil and Italian season. Boiled up some fettuccini noodles, and steamed some broccoli. All done mixed together with a 1/3 cup of the lemon Preston a little noodle water and heated all up a bit and laid the sliced chicken breast strips on top. Drizzled some of the leftover pasta/lemon basil sauce from bottom of the pan on top. Next time I will mix some Parmesan cheese on top and have a chilled bottle of white wine ready. This was a spur of the moment dinner for my husband and I

This Lemon Pesto is terrible. I tried it on pasta. The flavor is extremely artificial. There is nothing fresh tasting about this pesto. We trashed it. Can’t recommend.

This pesto was ok. It had so much lemon in it. We made it better by adding bamba sauce seasoned salt and a lot of basil and tabasco. Still – I’ll never buy it again.

Trader Joe’s Lemon Pesto is so delicious and I’ve used it in many different recipes. Added it to my fish charcuterie board today for lunch and it was wonderful.

Interesting flavored pesto. Can taste the slight bitterness from the lemon zest. Not oily like regular jar pesto.

Love this lemon pesto so much. It goes great with Trader Joe’s truffle ravioli and zucchini. It’s my absolute favorite pesto of all time.

Not good at all! Lemon flavor is way over the top & ruined my pasta.
