Handmade Basil Pesto (Gluten Free/Vegan Option)

Prep time

10

minutes
Cooking timeminutes

No processor needed for this one! Just some fine chopping and a little arm workout. Goes great with gnocchi!

Ingredients

  • 1 handful finely chopped Basil

  • 2 tbsp Walnuts (or Pine nuts, if you have them on hand)

  • 1 smushed clove of Garlic (Perhaps Asafoetida could suffice here if you’re very sensitive to Garlic/low-FOD option)

  • 1 tbsp shredded Parmesan (Vegan option: I also have tried this without Parm, and just added some salt)

  • Olive Oil, to desired consistency

Directions

  • Finely chop Basil & Walnuts. Smush Garlic clove with back of knife and then back of spoon – combine all of these together and smush a bit more. Add Parmesan (or salt), if using.
  • Drizzle Olive Oil, to desired consistency.
