Yummy Vegan Pesto Classico

By johandi

This is a classic recipe I use and love. Nutritional yeast is substituted for the traditionally used dairy. Tasty on pasta, bread, sandwiches, omelets, etc. Try adding sun-dried tomato slices post-completion for an added boost of rich flavor. P.S. - It also freezes beautifully."

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup pine nuts
• 2/3 cup olive oil
• 5 cloves garlic
