Ingredients

2 Cups Fresh basil, chopped

1 Cup Fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped

2 Tbsp Pine nuts

1 Slice White or sourdough bread

3 Cloves Garlic, minced

1-2 Tbsp White miso

2 Tbsp Nutritional yeast

1/4 - 1/3 Cup Water

Directions

1 Place everything except the water in a food processor. Pulse until finely minced. With machine running, slowly add water until desired consistency is reached.

Hint: Coarsely chop the basil and parsley because the food processor will mince them later. Add some blended silken tofu to make a creamy pesto sauce for pasta.
