Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 8- oz package pasta of choice
  • 2 cups loosely packed fresh Basil
  • 1/3 cup walnuts sub 1/2 can white beans for low-fat version-drained & rinsed
  • 2-3 cloves garlic
  • 4 sun-dried tomatoes I dehydrate my own oil free diced
  • 1/2 cup plant milk
  • 1 T fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup Nutritional yeast
  • Drizzle of tahini optional, but helps bind
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • Salt and pepper to taste optional

Instructions
 

  • Blend all ingredients, except spinach, in a high powered mini blender until smooth.
  • Add the spinach for one more blend up, heat through and pour over cooked pasta.
  • Garnish with homemade plant-based Parmesan.

Notes

The spinach does not alter the flavour, it simply keeps the pesto green and vibrant.
