Creamy Vegan Pesto Sauce Recipe

Pesto and pasta are a perfect pair. Full of healthy fats, pesto is a filling, nutritious and delicious addition to your pasta plate. Choose a whole grain or whole wheat pasta, or try making your own. Although most commercial pesto contains Parmesan cheese, try this yummy vegan version – it's so good you won't miss the cheese!

½ cup pine nuts

1 cup fresh basil packed lightly

2 tbsp olive oil
