- a big handful of basil
- 5 tablespoons of olive oil
- 4 tablespoons of water
- 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast
- 2 cloves of roasted garlic

Method
Place 50g of the cashews into a food processor and pulse for a few seconds, until they’re broken up. Then toast them in a frying pan until they go golden brown.
Now add all the pesto ingredients, except the pasta/courgetti, in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Then toss with your pasta/courgetti and sprinkle with the toasted cashews.
