Cheese-less Pesto
/This is a quick and easy sauce you can add to practically anything. If you're vegan, lactose intolerant or just not a fan of cheese in general, you'll be pleased to know that unlike most pesto recipes, this pesto doesn't call for any cheese (but it's just as tasty).
Try out this recipe if you got fresh basil from the farmer's market or your CSA box but you have no idea what to make with it :-)
