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 ^_^

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
  1. Get out the food processor and one extra bowl
  2. Process the *nuts and *salt and place in extra bowl
  3. Process *garlic
  4. Add *basil to processor and process
  5. Add *nuts/salt mix and reprocess to combine, use spatula to ensure consistency
  6. Add in parmesan/parm replacement and process
  7. Add tofu, process same as above, using spatula to ensure consistency
  8. Add olive oil a bit at a time, ensure consistency
  9. 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!
