Creamy Pesto Sauce
What you need:
2 cups cooked soybeans
1 large bunch basil, washe'd and spun dry
juice of 2 lemons
zest of 1 lemon
5 large cloves garlic
6 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup plain soy milk
salt/pepper to taste
*optional * several grates of fresh nutmeg
What you do:
Place all of the above in a food processor or strong blender. I use a VitaMix. Process for several minutes until very creamy. This takes at least 2 minutes.
This is delicious as a creamy pesto for pasta, a mayo like spread for sandwiches, as a topping for soups or casseroles, or to add flavor to steamed veggies or in salad dressings. The possibilities are endless! Enjoy!

SO HOW'D IT GO?
Fantastic recipe! My mom is not a vegan and she was very surprised there was no cheese in this--it is very creamy!
