Ingredients for raw almond basil pesto:
1 1/2 cup fresh basil
1 cup almonds (raw unroasted)
5 cloves garlic
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
1/3 cup olive oil (cold pressed)
3/4 teaspoon sun fire salt (or other high quality salt)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Mix all ingredients in food processor and add to desired amount of spiralized zucchini pasta! Add garnish of olives or other favorite yummies. Please note: I found the amount of garlic in this recipe to be too strong, so after I added the prescribed ingredients I toned the flavor down by adding some more almonds and olive oil to make it just right. It's import to not restrict yourself to a hard and fast list of ingredients, and just play with the recipe until it suits you. It helps if you sing a little song while you make the pesto, makes it even more flavorful. Suggestions for songs to sing: Angela Stoke's "A Few of My Favorite Raw Things" :-)
