Red Pesto
Once you’ve tried this red pesto you won’t want any other. I’ve been adding this pesto to everything – pasta, my mixed bean veggie burger, as a side with my chickpea scramble – it’s bursting with flavour. The nutritional yeast is a must, you can pick this up in most health food stores, and I’ve started to see it in some leading supermarkets too.
