I was scared off pesto when I was a kid but I’ve recently been wondering if maybe I just had a bad pesto! So I’m keen to give this a go

This is the kind of meal I like to have in weekdays: it makes me feel fancy even though it’s so super easy! Is the vegan pesto similar to the regular one?
thiswifecooks
Yes, very similar. Vegan pesto does not contain parmesan or it includes a non-dairy version. You could absolutely sub traditional pesto here.
