Pesto pasta without cheese? Yes, it\u2019s possible! While emerald-green pesto sauce traditionally gets its flavor from Parmesan cheese, Alex and I decided it was high time for a simple vegan version in our life. And once we created a fabulous vegan basil pesto, then why not put it on pasta? We tried out a vegan version of our favorite pesto pasta recipe, and I must say: we liked it almost more than the original! The silky smooth, savory basil pesto coats the tender pasta, punctuated by the pop of the cherry tomatoes. In short, it\u2019s summer perfection. Keep reading for the recipe!<\/p>\n

How to make vegan pesto pasta<\/h2>\n

The most involved part of this vegan pesto pasta is making the homemade vegan pesto! Of course if you can find purchased vegan pesto, feel free to use that \u2014 this recipe will be even quicker. (And be surer to let us know in the comments below what brands you enjoy!) But for the very best pesto pasta without cheese: you\u2019ve got to make the pesto at home.<\/p>\n

Making vegan pesto requires a healthy amount of basil, and a food processor. You can also use a blender, but we\u2019d try it with a smaller blender or immersion blender because of the quantity of ingredients. The old fashioned way, of course, is to use a mortar and pestle: so if you have one of those, you could try that too!<\/p>\n
