Steps to make Vegan Pesto π:
- Roughly chop the herbs and garlic.
- Add all of the ingredients together. Using a blender or hand whizzer mix the ingredients together to a smooth paste. I added A LOT of cracked black pepper, but that is personal preference. Use straight away, or store in a jar with some more oil mixed though for a few days.
- If you serve it with pasta I really recommend mixing the pesto into the pasta in the pan. Before you drain the pasta take a few tablespoons of the pasta water from the pan and set aside. Then drain it and transfer the pasta back into the pan. Take your desired amount of pesto and mix into the pasta with the pasta water to make it more creamy (and spread a bit further) Serve with lots of black pepper on top!
Whether you're vegan or not, I think you're going to love it. Vegan Pesto Recipe Variations Vegan pesto is an easy, healthy alternative to the Parm-filled original. The secret ingredient in this recipe is nutritional yeast, which adds cheesy flavor. We used a mix of fresh basil and parsley in this pesto as the parsley provides a lovely balance to the flavor. And then we used a mix of pine nuts and walnuts for the same reason - the walnuts provide some balance to the stronger flavor of the pine nuts.
