Basil Pesto

Cooking time: ~5 minutes

Ingredients:

~12 stems fresh basil (i.e. roughly a full bunch from most Sydney fruit & veg shops)
20g pine nuts
2 tablespoons (heaped) margarine
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup soymilk
2 cloves garlic
3 slices soy cheese (I use Tofutti soy slices)
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (a.k.a. savoury yeast flakes)

Instructions:

Pick the basil leaves from their stems, discard the stems.
Blend everything until creamy. Or, if you like your pesto a bit more chunky... blend everything until chunky :)

Serve on pasta or gnocchi, or use it as a sandwich spread ^_^
