I found this recipe in a book titled The Higher Taste. It's an absolutely delicious vegetarian dish! It's not vegan, but good just the same. Ingredients:
1 lb linguine |
2 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves |
6 tablespoons olive oil |
1/3 cup pine nuts or 1/3 cup blanched almond |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. In a blender, crush up basil leaves, olive oil, pine nuts, cheese, salt and pepper; blend until a thick sauce.
2. In a 1 gallon pot, add linguine to boiling water to which you have added 1/2 tsp salt.
3. Boil linguine 10 minutes until the pasta is tender; drain thoroughly; rinse w/ cool water.
4. Put pasta in in a warm serving dish and spoon pesto sauce over pasta.
5. Serve immediately.
