This stuff is nasty. My wife bought it and I about puked when I read the ingredient list on the back. The first three ingredients are salt, sugar, and corn starch. Yummy! The package my wife bought has basil listed *after* spinach. Parmesean cheese was somewhere at the end after monosodium glutamate. I suppose it tastes better than Soylent Green, but still....If you want prepackaged Pesto mix, go with McCormick's which at leasts lists basil and parmasean cheese as the first two ingredients.

I bought a huge case of these knorr pesto sauces because my fiancee and I used to eat them a year ago all the time and back then they were delicious. But then we moved and my local grocery store did not carry the knorr pasta sauces. However when they arrived and I opened the package I was in for a big disappointment. One thing I used to love about knorr was they used real ingredients-real parmesan and romano cheeses. Apparently not any more. Now this sauce mix is completely artificial-corn starch and preservatives and artificial flavors-blech! It doesn't taste anywhere near as good as the original.
However I give it three stars because it's still tastes better than a lot of the sauces in the store and at least you can use olive oil in your sauce instead of the vegetable oil based sauces in the store. Knorr should be ashamed for ruining a great product. If they had stuck to the original recipe, I'd have given it five stars. I know they are saving money by using artificial ingredients but the cost is too high as this affects the taste and our health. I wouldn't have bought 24 packs if I had known the recipe had changed. I hope they will reconsider the change and put real ingredients back in this product. Here are the ingredients since Amazon doesn't list them:
Maltodextrin, corn starch, wheat flower, salt, whey (milk), monosodium glutamate,spinach, garlic powder, basil, sugar, natural flavor (soy), onion powder, spice
