Ingredients

¼ cup Whole Almonds
1 clove Garlic
3 cups Fresh Basil Leaves

VEGAN BASIL PESTO

Vegan Basil Pesto image

The combination of smoked almonds, pistachios and green tea gives a depth of flavor that cheese would normally provide, making this a great vegan condiment for pasta or crostini. Freeze leftovers in an ice cube tray and store for up to one month.

EASY BASIL PESTO WITH ALMONDS

Easy Basil Pesto with Almonds image

Save some money using garden-grown basil and almonds in place of pricey pine nuts. This recipe is easy, fast, and very tasty. Summer on a plate! Serve over warm pasta with a side salad and a nice loaf of bread. I also spread this on toast. If you have left over, put in a small jar and drizzle some olive oil over the top. Keep refrigerated.

Add all ingredients except almonds to a food processor. Process for 30 seconds - 1 minute, until everything is combined.
Add the almonds and process for a few seconds at a time, until they are incorporated into the sauce. Do this more or less, depending on the consistency you like your pesto. Less pulsing will lead to chunkier pesto.
Pour in a bowl for dipping, or directly on pasta, or a sandwich, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week!
