Recipe for Vegan Parmesan Cheese (you will only need ¼ cup to make the pesto, this recipe makes about ¾ cup):

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine 1/2 cup raw cashews, 2 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/8 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp salt. Pulse all the ingredients 3 to 4 times, then check to see if all cashews have been chopped. Pulse 1-2 more times if needed. Do not over-blend. Over-blending will release oils from cashews and you mix will start turning into cashew butter.
