Hi, Susan. We are sorry to hear that the recipe did not turn out for you. Sometimes blenders are not strong enough to blend the herbs, cheese, and nuts into a uniform pesto consistency. Adding oil as you blend is the best way to loosen it up, but you are correct that 1/2 cup of oil would be too much.
