Pesto


Pesto is one of those recipes that you have to experiment with until you get it right for your liking. I like more garlic than some people may prefer. The following measurements are suggestions based on how I made my pesto.

Ingredients:
- 5 tbsp. pine nuts
- 3 packed cups fresh basil
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast
- 3 cloves garlic
- salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Place all ingredients in a food processor. Process until smooth.
2. Refrigerate until the sauce thickens. Serve over whole wheat pasta.
