Ingredients

3 bunches of fresh basil leaves
⅔ cup 90 g raw cashews
2 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoon nutritional yeast

Instructions

Begin by soaking your cashews in hot water for at least 15 minutes, and then drain the water. Place all ingredients either in a High speed blender, and blend until creamy and smooth. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a few drops of water to thin it out. Once your vegan basil cream sauce is ready, serve warm over your favorite vegan pasta or vegetable dish. Enjoy!
