Basil pesto! I’ve tried a few different ways of making pesto but this is the first one I absolutely loved. I used approx 2 cups of fresh basil (grow your own, it’s SO easy and hardy), 1/3 cup of olive oil (or more depending how you like it), 1/3 cup nutritional yeast, 3/4 cup of pine nuts (or other nuts, though I haven’t tried that yet), garlic, salt and pepper to taste. I squashed it all into my old crappy blender and it came out great. I adapted from this recipe and they also suggest adding sundried tomatoes for a twist - you could probably do all sorts of things to boost the nutritional content.
I spread it on panini sandwiches for the kids with cooked portabello mushroom and fresh tomatoes. Seriously delicious.
