Ingredients
- 3 cups basil, packed (about 3.5-4 oz)
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp sea salt
- fresh cracked black pepper to taste
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 1 big clove garlic
Instructions
- Add everything to a food processor and blend until smooth. Scrape down the sides occasionally. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. You want it pretty salty since the flavor will be diluted when you put it on pasta. Enjoy on pasta, breads, pizza, roasted veggies, grain bowls, etc. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
