Vegan Olive Pesto Pasta
Ingredients
- 1 box lasagna noodles (or other noodles of your choice)
Olive pesto
- 1 (10 oz) jar olives
- 1 cup packed basil
- 1/2 cup parsley
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 cup pine nuts/raw walnuts
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup vegan parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- pinch salt
Preparation
Pit the olives by slicing around the pit with a knife or use pitted olives to save time.
Boil the pasta according to package directions.
While the noodles are boiling, add all of the pesto ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
If using lasagna noodles, slice them into strips with a pizza cutter and toss with a little oil to keep them from sticking.
Add some of the pesto to the pasta and toss to combine.
Garnish with more vegan parmesan cheese and serve.
Tips
Store any leftover pesto in the fridge and use it on pizza, toast, or to make this meal again later in the week.
