Makes: 1 cup

Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of fresh basil leaves
• 3 TBS walnuts (or pine nuts if you’re feeling fancy; too rich for my blood)
• 3 cloves of garlic grated
• zest and juice from 1 lemon
• 2-3 TBS nutritional yeast
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 3-4 TBS olive oil
• water until you reach the consistency you like (took me about 5 TBS)

What to do:

• Place all ingredients except the olive oil and water in your food processor and run on high
• As your pesto is blending, slowly pour olive oil and water in and mix well
• Use to marinate meat or as a pasta sauce or whatever your little heart desires and enjoy!
