Pesto is a tasty and highly nutritious pasta sauce, but it is always frustrating that commercial brands contain cheese. Depending on your level of sensitivity to lactose/dairy, the level/kind of cheese contained in pesto can irritate the digestive tract. If you find this is the case then this recipe can be a nice substitute to classic pesto. I found this recipe at Vegan Spoonful. Other recipes can also be found on many vegan sites. If you dislike the taste of the yeast, this item can be left out. Once you have your pesto simply stir t through some cooked pasta. :)
Ingredients:
Basil; 3 cups
Garlic; 2-3 large cloves
raw pine nuts; 6 tablespoons
salt; 1 teaspoon
olive oil; 6 tablespoons
nutritional yeast; 1/4 cup
Directions:
Place the nuts, basil, garlic and salt in a blender or food processor and blend until finely chopped. Add the olive oil and blend again. Finally, add the yeast and blend until the pesto becomes creamy.
