Vegan Basil Spinach Pesto Linguine
Isn’t this gorgeous?!
You have to make this! It is so good and you will not miss the parmesan. Trust me I loved a good cheese and this is the recipe you need.
Put everything except the sun-dried tomatoes in the food processor and blend until smooth.
Doesn’t this look delicious?

Aloha!
Made this for dinner last night & it was a hit! The miso really takes the flavor to the next level. Thank you for this delicious recipe! 🤙🏻
So glad you tried and liked it! Yes, I think the miso, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice are so good in it. Aloha!
Wow, this is so incredibly yummy and super easy to make. I didn’t add any salt besides what it is in the miso and it was perfect. This is going to be a regular recipe!
I am thrilled that you enjoyed it! I agree, often the miso has enough saltiness. 💜
