Add Step-by-Step Photos	Silver_raven_venus / All my dishes 2 years, 2 months ago This is the best pesto I've ever tasted, and happens to be vegan. It's very versatile for what's available in your kitchen, too ^_^ Prep:15m Servings:16	Silver_rave

Ingredients

3/4 cups pine nuts or 1 cup Walnuts (what you have available for nuts probably will do the trick)

Lots of basil (about 2-3 ounces? or 1-2 cups)

5-7 cloves of garlic (I used 6 large)

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup parm/soy parm (nutritional yeast works too for those sensitive to soy)

2 oz any kind of tofu (or nut milks are ok for those sensitive to soy)

3/4 cup olive oil

Directions

Get out the food processor and one extra bowl

Process the *nuts and *salt and place in extra bowl

Process *garlic

Add *basil to processor and process

Add *nuts/salt mix and reprocess to combine, use spatula to ensure consistency

Add in parmesan/parm replacement and process

Add tofu, process same as above, using spatula to ensure consistency

Add olive oil a bit at a time, ensure consistency

Enjoy on pizza, stromboli, pasta, raw "pasta", etc. If eating raw, use raw tofu or a lesser amt of unsweetened raw nut (almond, walnut, etc) milk. Not an exact science as this recipe depends on your taste buds!
