Preparation
Bring salted water to a boil, add your pasta, and cook until al dente. Drain and hold hot.
While the pasta is cooking, combine all pesto ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until creamy smooth (add additional oil if needed).
Note: (Taste pesto, some salt may be needed, depending on Vegan Cheese)
For service, add finished pesto with pasta and mix well to combine.
Serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or basil if desired.
