Vegan Besto
Pesto Extra Garlicky
From: David
Kashevaroff - San Francisco, California, USA
Serves 2-3 vegans. sauce takes 10 minutes to prepare
- 2 cups of Basil ( or 1 cup basil and 1 cup Spinnach)
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1/4 cup firm tofu (keep some close by to thicken)
- lots of garlic cloves. (10 is good)
- 1/4+ lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Tahini
- olive oil
- salt
Compive basil, pine nuts, tofu, garlic, lemon juice and Tahini in
blender. Blend untill smooth. You will probably need to add more lemon
juice untill it starts to process. Add salt and Olive Oil too if you
like. Toss in small chunks of tofu while blending if you want to thicken
sauce. Pour over some freshly cooked angel hair, toss arround and
serve hot.
You may toast the pine nuts to bring out the flavor of the pine
nuts. You may also replace pine nuts with walnuts. Omit oil and
replace with more lemon juice to lessen fat content. I'm only reccomending
angel hair pasta, its my favorite, as well as Lazlows.
