This vegan pesto can replace the traditional cheese with nutritional yeast, which replicates rich flavour of Italian Parmesan. Stir it through pasta for a quick and simple vegan main dish.

1. Toast the pine nuts in a hot dry pan until starting to colour.

2. Using a mortar and pestle or a blender, grind together the nuts, garlic and basil leaves to a paste then stir in the oil.

3. Stir in the nutritional yeast, salt and lemon juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Enjoy!
