Pesto is a staple sauce that hails from Genoa, a coastal city in Northern Italy. The name comes from the Italian verb "pestare" which means "to crush", a reference to the original method of preparation with a marble mortar and pestle. Traditional pesto includes basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. However, this vegan version swaps out the Parmesan for nutritional yeast, an ingredient known for its cheese-like flavor and high vitamin B content, making it a popular substitute in vegan cooking. Just like the original recipe, this vegan pesto maintains the spirit of Italian cuisine, focusing on fresh, high-quality ingredients combined in a way that allows each one to shine.
