- I know the request was for a vegan pasta sauce and this isn't, but
- you can omit the parmesan cheese. I don't know if anything would make
- a good vegan substitute for it. For lactos, however, this is a great
- pasta sauce as is.

- Pesto
- ------
- 1 cup packed snipped fresh basil -- it's gotta be fresh
- 1/2 cup snipped parsley
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan or romano cheese (2 oz.)
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1 or 2 cloves garlic, quartered
- 1/3 cup olive oil
-
- Put basil, parsley, cheese, nuts, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a
- food processor bowl. Cover and process with several on and off pulses
- until a paste forms.
- Process on slow and slowly pour in the oil, processing until it reaches
- a consistency of soft butter. Refrigerate of freeze if not using
- immediately. Use about 1/3 cup of pesto to 6 ounces of pasta.
