Pesto Crumble Topping

Hey Friends! This is an easy and quick pesto recipe. It’s a bit more of a crumble the a sauce. I skip the oil and most of the times don’t even add garlic. I have found that pecans and walnuts make just as tasty of a pesto as pine nuts and they are way less expensive. Give this a try and I hope you love it as much as I do!

Ingredients:

2 Cups of fresh basil leaves 

1/2 Cup of Pecans

1 Tbs Nutritional Yeast 

1 tsp salt 

( optional: 2 cloves of fresh garlic) I add garlic when i make it for pasta, otherwise I skip it and just love the strong basil flavor. )

Directions 

Wash basil and remove stems 

Place in food processor with pecans 

Pulse until blended then add nutritional yeast and salt. 

Use as topping in salads, pasta’s, soups, etc. 

Happy Cooking!
