I fell in love with green pesto a few years back. Usually, I would just buy it, however, when I found out how easy it is to make yourself I have loved doing that ever since. This is how to make vegan green pesto pasta.

Green pesto is perfect as a topping for bread and sandwiches or just as a dip. But I really love using it as a pasta sauce. It’s a quick and easy recipe, perfect for a weekday dinner or a lunch. All you need is a food processor, a pot and the ingredients.
