Instructions

Blend a bunch of basil leaves (about 20), which can be substituted with other herbs like fresh parsley or arugula, with 5 tbsp of pine nuts, 3 tbsp of nutritional yeast, sea salt, and olive oil in a blender. Mix until you achieve a creamy yet slightly chunky texture. The pesto can be stored in the fridge for several days, covered with olive oil. Use it on a slice of bread with tomato for a hearty breakfast, to enhance the flavor of steamed fish, or with grilled vegetables for an easy dinner.
