I love pesto sauce but Parmesan not so much… So I have tried several vegan recipes and I found my favorite 
It happens to be healthy & nutritious 
I calculated the nutrients in a serving of 1/2 cup of sauce: it contains 250 calories, 14g of proteins, 10g of carbs, 19g of fat of which 16g are unsaturated fats (good fats).The recipe below yields 1 cup of sauce and is good for 2 meals 
In a food processor, blend: – 100g fresh basil (large stems removed)- 3 Tbsp pine nuts- 2 Tbsp lemon juice- 3 Tbsp nutritional yeast (if you like cheesy texture, you can add 1 more tbsp)- Salt & pepper to taste – You can also add 2-3 garlic cloves Then, you add 1 tbsp at a time:- 2.5 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil- 4-6 Tbsp water (depending on the texture you like)
