Pesto Sauce Recipe

Pesto Sauce

From silver_raven_venus 16 years 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 ^_^

3/4 cups pine nuts or 1 cup walnuts (what you have available for nuts probably will do the trick) shopping list
Lots of basil (about 2-3 ounces? or 1-2 cups) shopping list
5-7 cloves of garlic (I used 6 large) shopping list
1/2 tsp salt shopping list
1/4 cup parm/soy parm (nutritional yeast works too for those sensitive to soy) shopping list
2 oz any kind of tofu (or nut milks are ok for those sensitive to soy) shopping list
3/4 cup olive oil shopping list

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!
