This recipe is slightly different than my No Oil Spicy Vegan Pesto.It has a creamy texture that I find excellent for pasta. Traditional pesto is loaded with oil. For this recipe I use avocado and dare I say it is fantastic! This healthy recipe is loaded with fiber and will leave you with one happy satisfied tummy. It calls for nutritional yeast and this is a must! For those unfamiliar with it, nutritional yeast is an amazing cheese substitute. You can’t tell this pesto is missing parmesan. I served it with brown rice pasta and it was delicious. Hope you like it as much as I do!
