The pesto adds a bright and refreshing flavor to the entrée, and the pine nuts add a buttery creaminess to the sauce. Vegan pesto of course doesn't use dairy cheese so instead creates the cheesy flavors with the nutritional yeast, lemon juice, crushed garlic and other spices. Serve with pasta or on top of pizza or spread on delicious crusty bread. Also makes a great topping for salads or vegetables. I usually make my own pizza dough when I'm making a pizza from scratch, but I noticed my local supermarket have a fresh ready rolled pizza dough in their chilled section beside the pastry and decided to give it a go.
