I think it is very important to get good imported cheese (aged over 90 days, which most imported swiss is) rather than regular cheese. I usually use about half Swiss half Gruyere (which is another type of Swiss). Usually the gruyure is more expensive, I’m
not sure you have to use it, but I usually do. The best deal on these cheeses, that I’ve found, is either at Trader Joe’s or Costco. I have never looked at Sams, but they might have it, who knows?. You can expect the Swiss to be about $6/lb and the Gruyere to be about $10 (expensive I know, but worth it!) At a regular grocery store it is usually even more expensive.

“Traditional pesto is very high fat, unlike this low-fat version. This pesto has a wide variety of uses. Try it tossed with penne pasta, strips of grilled chicken, chopped fresh basil, and golden raisins, topped with chopped tomatoes and a touch of Parmesan and black pepper. It’s also excellent on hot or cold sandwiches.”
