Description
A vibrant, flavorful pesto made with fresh arugula and basil, blended with raw cashews and nutritional yeast for a cheesy, creamy texture—all without any oil. This quick, 5-minute sauce is perfect for pasta, sandwiches, or as a dip.
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
- In a food processor, combine arugula, basil, lemon juice, cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, and salt. Blend until well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Toss the cooked pasta with the pesto sauce until evenly coated.
- Serve immediately, topped with vegan parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes:
- For a nut-free version, substitute raw sunflower seeds for cashews.
- Store leftover pesto in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This pesto also works well as a spread for sandwiches or as a dip for vegetables.
