All About Pesto!

This week we've chosen to highlight pesto, the ever versatile condiment, which can be transformed into anything from a fragrant pasta salad, to a sauce for gnocchi or as a drizzle on top of pizza. To make this full menu multiply this vegan pesto recipe by 4 to make enough for the week. You'll need 4 bunches of basil, 1/2 cup of nutritional yeast and 1 1/3 cup walnuts—happy cooking!
