I received fresh basil from bountiful baskets and the first thing I thought of was pesto. However, I am not eating any dairy and pesto usually calls for cheese. I found the following recipe and it was amazing.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups fresh basil
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 cup nuts, such as almonds, pine nuts or walnuts (I use raw almonds)
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1/3 cup nutritional yeast (I use Bragg's)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (I omitted)
Put in a food processor or vitamix and blend until a paste forms. Serve over pasta or as a pizza sauce. I used it as a dip for my roasted cauliflower.
