How You’ll Make It
- Cook the Pasta: Boil water in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt and cook the pasta according to the package instructions (usually about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water for later if needed.
- Make the Pesto (if homemade): In a food processor, combine the basil, garlic, pine nuts, salt, olive oil, lemon juice, and nutritional yeast (if using). Pulse until smooth. Add a little more olive oil if the pesto is too thick. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Combine: In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the pesto. Add a little reserved pasta water if you want a creamier consistency.
- Serve: Serve immediately, optionally topped with more vegan parmesan or extra basil for garnish.
