INGREDIENTS

Almond Butter Pesto 
- 3 cups packed fresh basil
- 1/4 cup Almond Butter Sea Salt
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (approx. 1 lemon)
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- Pinch of salt

 Pasta
- 340 g of your favourite pasta
- Hot pepper flakes (optional)

 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add all the ingredients of the pesto (except olive oil) in a food processor. Pulse and add olive oil in a thin stream until the mixture is creamy. 
2. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta until al dente. Set ½ cup of the cooking water aside.
3. Transfer half of the pesto to a skillet, then add the drained pasta and toss to coat, cooking for about 1-2 minutes over medium heat. Adjust the amount of pesto to your taste—start with less and add more if you prefer a saucier pasta. Gradually mix in cooking water until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
4. Divide into bowls and garnish with hot pepper flakes, if using.
