Chef's tip
Choose a grated-style vegan parmesan and use the same amount.
¼ cup garlic-infused olive oil
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
¼ tsp salt, or to taste
¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste

Instructions

1
Add the basil, scallion greens, pine nuts, and Parmesan to a food processor. Pulse 8–10 times until the mixture is coarsely chopped and no large leaves remain.
2
With the processor running, pour in the garlic-infused olive oil and extra-virgin olive oil in a slow, steady stream until the pesto comes together into a thick, slightly textured paste — about 20–30 seconds. Scrape down the sides once midway through.
