Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 cups (half of a large bunch) fresh parsley, stems removed
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 5 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup ground almonds
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pound pasta, cooked (reserve a few tablespoons of water)

Method

  • Toss all of the ingredients (except the pasta, of course) into a blender or food processor and pulse until fully combined. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  • Toss with cooked pasta. If it seems dry, stir in a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency. Serve topped with more Parmesan and whatever other toppings (mushrooms, tofu, etc.) you prefer.
