Basil pesto recipes - 4 recipes

By Sarahpph

This is my favorite sauce in my homemade pizza recipes, but I like to transform it into an avocado pesto sauce (and I can use the leftover avocados to make guacamole, hehe). You can check out my delicious recipe for vegan pizza here. It had my Texan meat-eater friends asking for more. Have a look. I really think that a handful of chopped pinenuts gives this sauce the extra edge, and I also use it (with or without avocados) as a pasta sauce when I'm strapped for time. You'll be surprised how easy it is to make, and once you learn, you'll never look back.
