Simple Vegan Pesto

[Rivers]

This was a very good pesto. We topped it with homemade vegan Parmesan sprinkles and that made it perfect! Thanks for sharing

You are so kind! If I like a recipe, I feel I owe it to the author to try and do it justice in my photographs (I only submit pics for recipes that my whole family enjoyed). I'm glad to hear positive feedback like that. Thanks!!!

Rivers, that is a beautiful photo! How do you and your family made homemade parmesan cheese? That sounds so intersting and I would love to try it!

Excellent! Best pesto I've ever had and super easy to make.

numm, numm, numm Only thing I changed is replaced 3-4 tbsp of the oil with lime jucie. My family always did it with the lime juice, adds a nice zing and less oil is always good.

Thanks!

Thank you for this delicious recipe and for the beautiful photo. 

It was my first time making pesto. My first attempt, I didn't know how much I was was supposed to put onto the pasta.  I doubled this recipe and put half into each plate of pasta, haha, it made me feel really sick. 

Today I made it again (I still doubled the recipe because I have a lot of basil and no other use for it) and put a lot less pesto, about 2-3 tablespoons into each plate of pasta, it works out fine and is really delicious.  I'm full but I want more!  Haha.  Thank you very much

This was SO AMAZING (and addicting)! I've never made homemade pesto before, but this really blew me away. Luckily I have a TON of basil growing in my garden, because I must make this again! So easy too.  Yum!

Never been a huge fan of pesto but I liked this.  I found myself snacking on the leftovers. 
I'll repeat previous poster's advice and advise you to take it easy when adding to the pasta.  A little goes a long way.   Lots of garlic in mine!  Tastes great but WOW, bad breath.  Next time I will try adding lime as another poster suggested to add some zip.  Thumbs up from me.

        This is the best pesto I've ever made...I did not have pine nuts I always use walnuts...You do not even miss the cheese...Who needs it...YUM...Thanx

I tried this today, and I have to concur - it's easy and tastes wonderful!  Like a previous commenter, I substituted lime juice for half the oil and it was still great!  Thank you for sharing!

I had never had pesto before but this recipe looked delicious. And I knew I liked basil so I follwed the recipe exactly and poured over some penne noodles and it was sooo good. I love it. I used fresh basil and I think it makes a big difference. I might try it wil walnutls last time just because the pine nuts at my local store is twice that of walnuts.
