What you’ll need for the vegan pesto: Hand full of basil 2/3 cup of olive oil 5-6 cloves of garlic Dry roasted macadamia nuts or pine nuts (i used Mac nuts) Put all in a blender or food processor until paste like. Add sea salt to taste and blend for a few seconds again. Edamame pasta This brand is called Explore Asian edamame spaghetti shape pasta, I bought it on amazon. You only boil for about 4 mins as it is much softer and delicate than pasta. Strain pasta put as much pesto as you want then you are done! Enjoy!
