Oil-free Pesto and Cherry Tomato Pasta

V - DF - GF - SF - EF

Ingredients:

1 1/2 avocado

2 handfuls of whole cashews (soaked overnight preferrably)

1/2 lemon, juice

2 handfuls fresh spinach

1-2 handfuls fresh basil

1 handful fresh parsley

3 cloves garlic

Salt and pepper

2 handfuls of nutritional yeast (can be substituted with Parmesan for non-vegans)

1/2-1 cup water (adjust as you go)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Method

Simply blend together all the ingredients apart from the tomatoes until smooth, then mix it in with the cooked pasta and halved cherry tomatoes. I used rice quinoa pasta by Ceres Organics for this recipe.
