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 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)
It takes max 10 minutes to prepare! Hope you will like it 😁
