Chef's tip
Choose a grated-style vegan parmesan and use the same amount.
2 cloves garlic, peeled
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1–2 tbsp lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

1
Add the basil, pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic, salt, and black pepper to the blender. Pulse 8–10 times until the mixture is coarsely chopped and the ingredients are roughly combined.
2
With the blender running on low, slowly pour in the olive oil in a thin, steady stream until the pesto is smooth and uniform, scraping down the sides once if needed. The finished pesto should be thick enough to hold its shape on a spoon but loose enough to stir easily.
