For the best flavor, use high-quality extra virgin olive oil and fresh basil. Toasting the pine nuts enhances their flavor and adds a delightful nutty aroma. Adjust the amount of garlic and nutritional yeast to your preference. Store leftover pesto in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze in ice cube trays and transfer to a freezer bag once frozen.
