"I use this in my recipe "Pesto Chicken with Blistered Tomatoes", but it is also good with pasta with shrimp. This makes enough pesto for about 3 recipes using 6 tablespoons for each recipe. So that is what I put in the servings, although normally each recipe should serve 4, so the serving size could be 12. I couldn't enter 18 tablespoons for the serving size."

Original is 3 servings
