The sauce it's self is vegan, however the noodles I served it over were vegetarian, I look forward to trying this sauce over regular noodles and making a delicious vegan dinner.
Ingredients:
1 bunch fresh basil (my package was about 40oz I believe)
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 avocado, pitted and peeled
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup pine nuts
2 TBS lemon juice
Toss all the ingredients into your food processor or blender and mix until you reach the consistency you desire. (The bright green color I think is because of the flash on my phone). If you want it extra creamy blend longer.
Toss the sauce over hot cooked pasta and enjoy!
All I can say is OH-MY-GOODNESS, THIS is heaven in a bowl. Straight up. Not even kidding. I have tried to make vegan pestos before and in all honesty THIS, THIS doesn't even compare. It was easily the BEST pesto I have ever eaten in my entire existence.Please Please try this recipe, I know you wont be disappointed.
Well then I have definitely got to try it! I am a HUGE pesto fan as it is!
