Some people love it and some people don't know about it yet. There is nothing in between. Pesto alla Genovese but make it vegan.
Pesto alla genovese (also "pesto verde") is an uncooked seasoning sauce, made with basil, garlic, olive oil, pine nuts and hard cheese. It originates from Liguria in northwestern Italy.
In most of the processed pestos in stores, these ingredients are replaced with cheaper alternatives designed to mimic the taste of original pesto. And even if you think the pesto is vegetarian there is mostly larb in the cheese. The secret boss of every vegetarian. That's why we do it ourselves and homemade tastes better anyway.
You can serve it up with tomatoes and vegan mozzarella. You can use all kinds of noodles, gnocchi, or put it on your pizza. Bon appetit and see you next time.
PS. I took the photos with my phone. I hope you enjoyed it.
