The measurements here will make a normal amount of pesto (good for 2 servings etc). When I made it I upped the measurements to make a lot which i can keep in the fridge and bring out when I'm too lazy to cook. You can also also add more olive oil than indicated if you want. This just makes the pesto a bit more fluid but makes it cover the pasta better.
