Vegan Pesto

This is quite simply the easiest recipe to make and comes with a huge punch of flavor.  It yields about 2 cups of pesto.  You can use the entire batch, however it also freezes well and is great to have handy when you need an easy sauce.  You can use it on pasta, garlic bread, on a crostini, in sandwiches, on pizza, in pesto ratatouille…the options are endless.  Enjoy!
