Made with simple ingredients such as fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, and pine nuts, this pesto is a great alternative for those avoiding dairy while still craving a creamy, herby sauce.

Basil pesto is incredibly versatile. You can use it as a topping for pasta, spread on sandwiches, drizzle over roasted vegetables, or even as a dip for bread. The combination of fresh basil and garlic provides numerous health benefits, including antioxidants that help support immunity and reduce inflammation. Olive oil, which serves as the base of the pesto, is packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, promoting cardiovascular health and helping to lower cholesterol levels.

Hi, usually I freez the pesto, when basil is in season, could I do the same with this one? Thank you.

Nutritional Yeast mimics the savory cheesy taste that you would get from adding parmesan cheese to an original basil pesto.
