What is pesto without parmesan cheese? Delicious and healthy! Make use end-of-summer basil where we substitute yeast flakes for cheese, and never miss what’s not in it!.
Pumpkins are popping up, mums are in bloom. It’s harvest time. So grab the last bit of growth from your garden and put it to use. We harvested the remaining basil and created a delicious pesto that complements just about anything. We used homemade toasted bread to make pesto bruschetta, cooked quinoa to create a pesto quinoa, and added the rest to spinach fettucini for a delightfully robust pasta dish. Any way you like it, enjoy!
