Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 400g pasta, any preferred shape
- 2 packed cups of fresh basil leaves
- 1/3 cup toasted pine nuts
- 2 cloves of fresh garlic
- 1/2 cup high-quality extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor
- The juice from 1 freshly squeezed lemon
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- A pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick (optional)
- Vegan parmesan to garnish
- Extra basil leaves for a fresh garnish

Method:
1. Start by bringing a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until it is just al dente. Reserve a cup of the pasta water for later, then drain the pasta and set aside.
2. While the pasta cooks, prepare the pesto. In a food processor, combine the fresh basil, toasted pine nuts, and peeled garlic cloves. Pulse until roughly chopped.
3. With the processor running, drizzle in the olive oil in a steady stream until the mixture emulsifies and becomes creamy. Add in the nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, blending until the mixture is a vibrant, smooth pesto.
4. Toss the warm, drained pasta with the pesto in a large bowl, adding a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if necessary. The heat from the pasta will release the aromas of the pesto and allow the sauce to coat each strand or shape thoroughly.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
6. Plate up the pesto pasta and garnish with a sprinkle of vegan parmesan and a few fresh basil leaves.
